#44342: octave-general @1.3.4_0 Configure error - build failure -----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: roberthuston@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: octave-general | -----------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by urilabob@…): Replying to [comment:4 sean@…]:
Huh. It seems that Octave must be built with documentation or else configuring packages fails: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?42352 ... this would make me think that we should always build documentation which, in turn, implies a dependency on latex. Michael?
The savannah writeup says that the docs are already built in the sources and just need to be copied (I have no idea whether this is correct, nor where to check). If so, the dependency would only be on texinfo, rather than the whole of latex (since texinfo is rather smaller, that would presumably make it less of an issue). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44342#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
