Comment(by michaelld@…):
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?
