Octave-2.1.49 and Apple GCC 3.3

[Fumihiro CHIBA]

Hi,

GCC 3.3 for Mac OS X is published as developer tools by Apple on 24 
June.  Using GCC 3.3, I succeeded in the installation of  Octave-2.1.49 
on Mac OS X 10.2.6. So, I report on the Installation of Octave-2.1.49 
using GCC 3.3.


Plan of the installation:
1. Install "December 2002 Mac OS X Developer Tools", if necessary.
2. Install "Dec 2002 gcc Updater" ( as GCC 3.3) , if necessary.
( You can get them from  http://www.apple.com/developer/  )
In order to get developer tools, you need registration as developer at 
http://www.apple.com/developer/
3. Install g77 , if necessary. (For example, g77 is obtained from Fink. 
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/fink/  This g77 is for GCC 3.1. But 
there may be no problem.)
4. Install libraries Readline, dejaGNU and gperf, if necessary. (refer 
to http://homepage.mac.com/chibaf/math/macosx/install/option.html ) You 
can also obtain them from Fink.  http://sourceforge.net/projects/fink/
5. Install fftw-2.1.5 and ATLAS, if necessary.
6. Install Octave-2.1.49
6.1 do the command:  setenv FLIBS '-L/sw/lib/ -lg2c'
6.2  do the command: ./configure
The configure command digs fftw-2.1.5 and ATLAS automatically without 
option.
6.3 Edit octave-2.1.49/config.h. Change "/* #undef HAVE_DYLD_API */" to 
"#define HAVE_DYLD_API 1".
6.4 make  (,If configure  ends with no error)
6.5 sudo make install  (,If make  ends with no error)
On details of the above procedure, refer to
