Hi,
I encountered some problems when building SuiteSparse and have applied the patch using:
sudo patch -p1 < patch-SuiteSparse-Portfile
and this appears to apply the patch:
patching file opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/math/SuiteSparse/Portfile
patching file files/patch-complex-type
patching file files/patch-config
patching file files/patch-disable-demos
patching file files/patch-macports-metis
patching file files/patch-powerpc-nanotime
patching file files/patch-size_t-fix
However, when I come to build octave, I do:
sudo port -v install octave
and get:
Portfile changed since last build; discarding previous state.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to build SuiteSparse?
It has been my experience that the patch is not needed if you do not mind doing some work yourself. The following steps should allow you to build SuiteSparse.
2) Do `sudo mv ~/Desktop/SuiteSparse-2.1.1.tar.gz /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/SuiteSparse/SuiteSparse.tar.gz`. This command assumes that you have a standard MacPorts installation.
3) Do `sudo port install SuiteSparse` with the standard Portfile (no patch applied) and it should work.
Thanks.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
