Description Olivier Crete 2002-07-12 22:53:05 UTC

octave doesnt compile with gcc 3.1
RedHat's Limbo beta has a patch to compile it with gcc 3.1... It should probably
be applied to gentoo's version too...

Created attachment 2218 [details, diff]
gcc3 patch from rh

I'm attaching just the patch.. taken directly from rh's rpm
the whole source rpm can be found at
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/limbo/en/os/i386/SRPMS/octave-2.1.36-4.src.rpm

The patch is against 2.1.36

yeah, we _NEED_ the newer "beta" octave in portage.  this current version is
horribly old.

Comment 4 Nick Hadaway 2002-07-15 11:41:00 UTC

added octave-2.1.36 into portage.
