> That's great that FLTK works for you. I'm stuck on getting "plotutils"
to correctly install as +universal on 10.8; it installs, but just a stub
for x86 (32-bit). I know where the issue is in the linking, but I'm not
sure where to correct it yet. I'll figure it out later today or tomorrow;
got some "real work" to do this morning :)
>
> With regard to octave-* ports: I see that the PortGroup for octave
contains "depends_lib path:bin/octave:octave" which means that the
octave-* ports are designed to work with either octave or octave-devel
(or, any other port that installs ${prefix}/bin/octave). So, we can test
the octave-* ports using this new Portfile as "octave-devel", right? Or,
am I still not getting it? Why do we need to update the octave-* ports
even if we keep the old octave port? Do the octave-* ports not work with
Octave 3.2? Only with 3.4 or newer? Only with 3.6?
yes, you got it! We need to update them anyway because if we keep octave
3.2 and bump octave-devel 3.6 and a user installs octave-devel and then
tries to install octave-odepack it won't build (actually, now it does
because I updated it :).
