Comment(by sebastian@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 alakazam@…]:
 > I'd much prefer to limit the number of variants for the octave port, and
 would prefer to quickly fix the FLTK port. Solutions have been brought up
 in the comments to ticket [http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21054 #21054:
 fltk 1.1.9 does not build 64-bit], so I'll be implementing those changes
 first, before resorting to (imho) more drastic measures.

 The fix is to compile fltk for the i386 architecture only, but then I am
 afraid that octave x86_64 cannot be linked to an i386 library... It will
 need some time to get fltk for x86_64; there is still plenty of carbon in
 it, see this [http://www.mail-archive.com/fltk-
 dev at easysw.com/msg03127.html post].

 For me it is not a big problem, since I already compiled octave as x86_64
 (without fltk), but other might have troubles in doing so.
