#38694: octave @3.2.4 -- failure during build compiling oct-alloc.cc ---------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: cwr@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: octave | ---------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by michaelld@…): I think the basic issue here is that more recent GCC versions (e.g., 4.7.3 versus 4.7.0) change the default flags being used for compiling (e.g., not using "-fpermissive"). The newer GCC is catching some -potential- issues, but mainly it is just more picky about C/C++ syntax and grammar. A few generic tweaks should do the trick. That said, given the lack of "cc me's" on this ticket, I wonder if anyone really uses the octave port any longer? Given how robust and current octave-devel is, do we really need this version of octave still around? Anyway, I'll check in some fixes later today once it all works. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38694#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
