cygwin maintainers,
With some strong assistance from octave upstream (John W. Eaton at octave.org)
in tailoring the g-b-s for octave, I am close to having an octave package for
upload. It is linked against lapack (see my ITP for lapack), so lapack is a
build dependency.
Upstream has provided two binary packages from a single source package: the
main octave package, and an accompanying octave-headers package, which is
required for compiling new octave binary (.oct) functions.
The proposed setup.hint files are as follows:
FOR OCTAVE
sdesc: "The GNU Octave language for numerical computations"
category: Math
requires: cygwin lapack gnuplot less readline texinfo
ldesc: "The GNU Octave language for numerical computations
Octave is a (mostly Matlab (R) compatible) high-level language, primarily
intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command-line
interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically."
FOR OCTAVE-HEADERS
sdesc: "Header files for the GNU Octave language"
category: Math
requires: cygwin octave gcc g++ g77 libncurses-devel
external-source: octave
ldesc: "Header files for the GNU Octave language.
This packages provides the include files needed to compile and link
user-supplied code with GNU Octave. If you only write interpreted .m
files, you do not need this package."
-----------
Please provide comments on the proposal.
Thanks,
Jim Phillips
