#51546: octave @4.0.2: octave build triggers installation of texlive packages even though MacTeX is installed ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: Torsten.Maehne@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Keywords: texlive, MacTeX | Port: octave ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Building the octave port in its default variant triggers the installation of the following texlive ports: * texlive-basic * texlive-latex * texlive-fonts-recommended However, their installation should not be necessary as long as MacTeX is installed and configured in the PATH. The installation of texlive-basic, texlive-latex, and texlive-fonts- recommended hides effectively the MacTeX installation so that compiling more complex LaTeX documents suddenly generates lots of errors as packages/fonts installed by MacTeX are not found anymore. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51546> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
