compiling 3.8.0 on OSX (2)

[Stuart Edwards]

Philip - sorry about your thread - this should be a clean start.

_________________________

Hi Stuart and others,

I finally got Octave 3.8.0 built with the GUI on OS X 10.6.8. I generally tried following the instructions here, which were quite helpful: http://wiki.octave.org/Building_for_Macintosh_platform

In particular, I had to update to GNU sed 4.2, gawk 4.1.0, and bison 3.0.2. Then, I did the following.

- Built qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5
   - Added the following environment variable to ~/.bash_profile
         PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.8.5/lib/pkgconfig

- Built gnuplot 4.6.4 with
       - ./configure --enable-qt --disable-wxwidgets && make; sudo make install

- Built fltk-1.3.2:
       - ./configure --enable-shared && make; sudo make install

- Built readline-6.2:
       - ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-shared && make; sudo make install

- Built GCC 4.8.2:
       - had to install gmp-4.3.2, mpfr-2.4.2, and mpc-0.8.1 using the standard configure/make/make install
       - then could do the same for gcc itself: ./configure && make; sudo make install
       - made symlink from /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/local/bin/gcc
       - made symlink from /usr/bin/g++ -> /usr/local/bin/g++
       - confirmed that 'gcc -v', 'g++ -v', and 'gfortran -v' all showed 'gcc version 4.8.2 (GCC)'

- Updated Texinfo from 4.8 to 5.2:
       http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/
       - made symlink from /usr/bin/texi2dvi -> /usr/local/bin/texi2dvi

- Built octave-3.8.0 with:
   - ./configure && make
   Note: during the course of the build I had to manually add to libgui/Makefile the following after 'LDFLAGS = -framework JavaVM' and then re-'make'
               -framework QtCore -framework QtGui -framework QtNetwork
   This last step could probably have been avoided if either my pkg-config was set correctly or I passed some correct flag to configure, but I'm not sure...

HTH and best regards,

John

Hi Stuart,

I’m on OS X 10.6.8 as well and trying to compile 3.8.0 (ideally with the GUI). I’ve run into a number of problems but had gotten through a lot of the Octave compilation up to the point where the code was trying to link to some fortran library functions that were missing. FYI, here’s a bit of the stack trace:

libtool: link: g++ -dynamiclib  -o .libs/liboctave.2.dylib   -Wl,-force_load,array/.libs/libarray.a -Wl,-force_load,cruft/.libs/libcruft.a -Wl,-force_load,cruft/ranlib/.libs/libranlib.a -Wl,-force_load,numeric/.libs/libnumeric.a -Wl,-force_load,operators/.libs/liboperators.a -Wl,-force_load,system/.libs/libsystem.a -Wl,-force_load,util/.libs/libutil.a -Wl,-force_load,../libgnu/.libs/libgnu.a  -framework JavaVM -lcurl /usr/local/lib/libfftw3.a -framework vecLib -lncurses -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libpcre.dylib -ldl -L/usr/local/gfortran/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin10/4.6.2 -L/usr/local/gfortran/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin10/4.6.2/../../.. /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.dylib /usr/local/gfortran/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin10/4.6.2/libquadmath.dylib -lm  -O2 -pthread   -pthread -framework JavaVM -framework vecLib -install_name  /usr/local/lib/octave/3.8.0/liboctave.2.dylib -compatibility_version 3 -current_version 3.0 -Wl,-single_moduleUndefined symbols:

    _ddassl_ in libcruft.a(libcruft_la-ddassl.o)

    _ddassl_ in libcruft.a(libcruft_la-ddassl.o)

...

I was using this gfortran: gcc version 4.6.2 20111019 (prerelease) (GCC). That version is not consistent with my gcc though: gcc version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646). So, I’ve decided to update my GCC and gfortran together to hopefully solve these incompatibilities. I’m trying GCC 4.8.2, and it’s been building about an hour. 

I’ll let you know if it works -- fingers crossed.

Best regards,

John

Hi -

I'm trying to compile the new 3.8.0 on OS X 10.6.8.  During configure the process terminates with the error:

checking whether g77 generates correct size integers... no

configure: error: your Fortran compiler must have an option to make integers the same size as octave_idx_type (int).  See the file INSTALL for more information.

I get the same error using gfortran in place of g77.

I don't see anything in the INSTALL file relating to this - the README does inform that a Fortran 77 compiler is needed - but nothing further.

Is there a different fortran compiler that I should be using?

Any assistance appreciated.

Best

Stu

Excellent.  Not sure if my installation skills are up to all that - but I'll give it a try.
