I'm sending to you a new ebuild for koctave (I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it) Koctave is a GUI (frontend) for Octave This application would be app-sci/koctave Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 22654 [details] A ebuild for koctave This is my ebuild
the name of the ebuild is koctave-0.65.ebuild
I think this application could be useful for example for a course in numerical analysis, since octave has a console based interface, and with this kde interface it has a more matlab-like look and feel, that is easier for students to use.
the ebuild works fine with ocatve 2.1.49 on x86
I should have looked here before making one... :-( Tested this on amd64, and it works. Plz add ~amd64 to the keywords when including in the portage tree.
Works fine here on x86 for octave 2.1.50
I don't run KDE and when I emerged this it kept crashing with an error about rebuilding kdebase. After I emerged KDE it worked fine so I changed the koctave ebuild to depend on kdebase instead of kdelibs: DEPEND="virtual/glibc app-sci/octave kde-base/kdebase" Now it seems to work on ~x86 (using octave 2.1.50, octave-forge-2003.06.02). Although the left command pane doesn't seem to show anything.
Created attachment 26617 [details] updated ebuild with kdebase dependency
Is anyone working on this? If not, I'll go ahead and add it to portage...
I think it is ready for portage.
works on ppc as well
Just emailed the app-sci maintainers to get permission to add this to portage...
Created attachment 27814 [details] app-sci/koctave/koctave-0.65.ebuild The previous ebuild seems to cause a sandbox violation (at least here). Here's a new ebuild which uses the kde eclass.
done
