#46105: texinfo @5.2_2 has unlisted dependency on TeX ------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: karsten@… | Owner: larryv@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: texinfo | ------------------------+---------------------- Changes (by larryv@…): * status: new => assigned * owner: macports-tickets@… => larryv@… * port: octave => texinfo Old description:
Since some time late last week, octave fails to build. It looks like it depends on TeX to be installed, but the dependency is not listed in the port:
:info:destroot /opt/local/bin/texi2dvi --build-dir=t2d_cache --build- dir=octav e.t2d -o octave.dvi \ :info:destroot octave.texi :info:destroot You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in :info:destroot your PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one. If you want to use :info:destroot this script, you'll need to install TeX (if you don't have it) or change :info:destroot your PATH or TEX environment variable (if you do). See the --hel p :info:destroot output for more details. :info:destroot :info:destroot For information about obtaining TeX, please see http://tug.org/te xlive, :info:destroot or do a web search for TeX and your operating system or distro.
Attaching full build log.

That’s kind of a big dependency to add. I’ll look into this at some point, but I’m not sure about the best way to handle it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46105#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
