Successful build of Octave 3.6.1 on OSX Lion (sans FINK)

[Clarkman]

# This wasn't that bad, and I am very happy to get it working!  BUT I caution
# you though, I may be long-time Matlab user & C++ developer, but I am
totally
# newbie to Octave.  I finally figured out how to get fltk back-end working,
so
# thanks for all the helpful posts here!
#
# I'm on OSX 10.7.3, had a previously installed binary for octave-3.2.3
# The code snippet below for src/display.cc (CGDisplayBitsPerPixel) might be
useful?

# This will take a long while ...
sudo port install octave-devel

# Install gfortran for OSX Lion (twisted tale here!  This looks)
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries#MacOS

# Copy PCRE header, a total hack.
sudo cp /opt/local/include/pcre.h /usr/include/

# Get, build, and install readline-6.2
# (May be retrieved from ftp.cwru.edu.)
# In readline-6.2 dir:
./configure
# I got an error during 'make' that requires we use -dynamiclib rather than
-dynamic
# Researched and found: "You need to go into the sub folder
readline-6.2/shlib folder in the ReadLine source folder and edit Makefile,
search -dynamic and change it to -dynamiclib.  This worked, but again it's a
total hack!
# Then this will work for readline, puts in /usr/local:
sudo make install

# Then we must convince Octave configure to look for readline > 4.2 at
/usr/local/lib instead of the default:

export LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/local/lib'
export CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include -I/opt/local/include'

# Crude, but it works.  There are probably options to ./configure that
accomplishes same.  ??  Also not sure of the ordering opt/usr or vice-versa


# Next we have a problem with the deprecated "CGDisplayBitsPerPixel"
function
# as called in src/display.cc on line 75.  I found this workaround that
seems
# to work fine:
#if 1
        CGDisplayModeRef mode = CGDisplayCopyDisplayMode(display);
        CFStringRef pixEnc = CGDisplayModeCopyPixelEncoding(mode);
        if(CFStringCompare(pixEnc, CFSTR(IO32BitDirectPixels),
kCFCompareCaseInsensitive) == kCFCompareEqualTo)
                dp = 32;
        else if(CFStringCompare(pixEnc, CFSTR(IO16BitDirectPixels),
kCFCompareCaseInsensitive) == kCFCompareEqualTo)
                dp = 16;
        else if(CFStringCompare(pixEnc, CFSTR(IO8BitIndexedPixels),
kCFCompareCaseInsensitive) == kCFCompareEqualTo)
                dp = 8;
#else
          dp = CGDisplayBitsPerPixel (display);
#endif


# But you only have the gnuplot side working yet
# Ben suggested this:
sudo port install transfig epstool pstoedit
# here

### Woah!!  When I saw OSX Lion building imake, I did a double-take.

# Then you have to install fltk-devel
sudo port install fltk-devel
# Now build Octave and take a coffee break
./configure

# Now gets us this ....

Octave is now configured for x86_64-apple-darwin11.3.0

# There were 357 skipped tests (see fntests.log for details).
# Skipped tests are features that are disabled in this version of Octave

sudo make install


# I tried both back ends per Ben's hints, and they both seem to work:

graphics_toolkit gnuplot
figure(1)
graphics_toolkit fltk
figure(2)
surf (peaks)
figure(1)
surf (peaks)

# I also tried installing the miscellaneous package (because of recent
posts)

# Not too messy ...
