gmp is the dependency that's preventing Octave from getting installed. Perhaps Paul G. and Mark D. have installations that can handle the cflags keyword? Andre On Apr 20, 2007, at 8:59 AM, Elias Pipping wrote:

I'm having trouble installing octave. I keep getting the following error message:

stephen-dones-computer:~ srdone$ sudo port install octave ---> Configuring gmp Error: Target com.apple.configure returned: can't read "configure.cflags": no such variable Error: The following dependencies failed to build: gcc42 gmp libiconv mpfr glpk gnuplot expat fontconfig freetype zlib gd2 jpeg libpng ncurses ncursesw pdflib readline teTeX gawk gettext ghostscript gsed texi2html texinfo hdf5 pcre Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

configure.cflags is new... Are you running MacPorts 1.4.3? If not, please "sudo port selfupdate" to get it, then try again.

Wait a minute. I'm getting the same error. Apparently, configure.cflags is not in MP 1.4.3. I used it in a port also.

If that is the case I apologize for bugging you to use configure.cflags instead of configure.env the other day ;)

I've tested this with gmp, and the results are in: * setting configure.cflags in Portfiles doesn't work, as demonstrated above. * setting configure.cflags-append in Portfiles _does_ work; it worked for gmp, and for courier-authlib (which I maintain, and successfully built using configure.cflags-append before committing). It's the same thing that was mentioned elsewhere (by pguyot on macports-dev or in a commit log, I think -- sorry for being too lazy to look it up) about redefining the universal variant in Portfiles: if you try to do so, "universal" disappears entirely. I don't understand the base code well enough to understand why it works this way (comments?), but that's how it works.
