#38694: octave @3.2.4 -- failure during build compiling oct-alloc.cc ---------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: cwr@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: octave | ---------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by michaelld@…): Thanks for the feedback; I'm glad you have -some- octave working. I had the same issue a while back (just needing Octave of some sort), but I required the 3.4 series for some reason I no longer remember; hence, I started maintaining octave-devel and have continued to do so as best my time allows. We (interested MacPorts developers) have discussed what to do about Octave in the past, but IIRC have never come to any real conclusion. I don't use Octave heavily enough to need any of the extras (e.g., octave- combinatorics; "port search octave" to see a bunch), so I haven't looked into if/how well they will play with octave-devel. Maybe if/when I get a little spare time (¿between consulting jobs?) I'll have a look to see how difficult it would be. Or, maybe someone has already done this and I just don't know it yet. I think the goal is to move the current "octave-devel" into "octave", and then have "octave-devel" be a real devel port (the latest, bleeding edge). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38694#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
