New version for octave-forge, the "addons" package for computational program Octave (a Matlab clone). This version requires a patch, since the type "uint_32" is not to be found in /usr/include/sys/types.h, but is in /usr/include/stdint.h. I have not tweaked with that part of my system that I consider to be pretty standard, but feel free to check. A previous patch has been maintained. The version _strictly_ requires Octave 2.1.69 (see related bug 99781); it will not be compatible with future versions.
Created attachment 63967 [details] Ebuild for octave-forge 2005.06.13
Created attachment 63968 [details, diff] Path patch for octave-forge 2005.06.13 This patch corrects a number of issues that would cause portage access violations.
Created attachment 63969 [details, diff] Randmtzig patch for octave-forge 2005.06.13 This patch adds a header necessary to compile a function (rand.cc). Without this, compilation crashes.
I think that the path patch should be called octave-2005.06.13.patch rather than 2005.06.13.patch. So it should be changed to ${P} rather than ${PV} in the ebuild.
Comment #4: you mean octave-forge-2005.06.13.patch? Sounds ok but it would be better if it described what it did: perhaps something like ${P}-mex-DESTDIR.patch. Also, octave-forge 2005.06.13 was added to the tree without the patch in comment #3 (see bug #99781). I left a note on that bug so hopefully it will get fixed.
Thanks for your work, Federico. The new version (along with your patches) is now in Portage.
