Re: Octave 4.0 on Mac 10.10

[Marius Schamschula]

A couple of questions:

1) As there seems not to currently be a 4.0.0-rc tag, am I correct to assume that the OS X builds of octave 4.0 are from tip?

2) If so, tip also currently fails to compile on Mavericks (using MacPorts and Xcode 6.1) with the +atlas +gcc48 +glgui +gui +qtgui variants (default for current MP octave 3.8.2, except for the older gcc):

What is the plan for 4.0?

Currently, nothing. We'll ship Octave 4.0 with Windows binaries but no
Mac OS X distribution. Some people have offered to help, but no
concrete results yet:

   http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Mac-OS-X-champion-td4668534.html    

Mac OS X has a long and awful history with Octave. If you are willing
to put the effort into making reproducible Mac OS X builds for Octave,
it would make a lot of Mac users happy. If you can't ensure
reproducible builds, then an ad-hoc build like the one we had for
3.4.0 could be the next best thing.
