A ebuild for koctave

This is my ebuild

[Comment 2 Pablo De Nápoli 2003-12-25 07:19:47 UTC]

the name of the ebuild is koctave-0.65.ebuild

[Comment 3 Pablo De Nápoli 2003-12-25 10:13:42 UTC]

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.

[Comment 4 Adrian Lambeck 2004-01-17 04:56:43 UTC]

the ebuild works fine with ocatve 2.1.49 on x86

[Comment 5 Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) 2004-02-12 22:29:27 UTC]

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

[Comment 7 Colin Macdonald 2004-02-29 13:24:39 UTC]

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.

updated ebuild with kdebase dependency

[Comment 9 Jason Huebel (RETIRED) 2004-03-05 18:00:51 UTC]

Is anyone working on this? If not, I'll go ahead and add it to portage...

[Comment 10 Pablo De Nápoli 2004-03-05 18:02:43 UTC]

I think it is ready for portage.

[Comment 11 Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) 2004-03-05 18:04:54 UTC]

works on ppc as well

[Comment 12 Jason Huebel (RETIRED) 2004-03-06 09:26:47 UTC]

Just emailed the app-sci maintainers to get permission to add this to portage...

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.
