[REQUEST] octave-forge

rafal · 2005-06-01 18:55:17

I've tried such a PKGBUILD written according to octave-forge documentation but after compilation it doesn't copy files to $startdir/pkg/*

Any idea?

pkgname=octave-forge
pkgver=2004.11.16
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Extra Octave functions"
url="http://octave.sourceforge.net"
depends=('octave' 'gcc-g77' 'readline' )
source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/octave/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make -k
  make check
  make icheck
  make || return 1
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

...

Try changing make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
to make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
If it doesn't work, try using make PREFIX=$startdir/pkg/usr install
It it still doesn't work check the Makfile, it might need a patch.

After modifications and building dependencies (GiNaC, qhull), the package of octave-forge is created but there are 2 problems:
1) size of the package is too large (144MB),
2) during the run of octave, errors occurs.
Another 2 dependencies are required: gsl and cln (to install from Arch repositories)

iirc you have to strip libraries/object files. i built an octave-forge package a while back. i am away from home for a few days, but will post the pkgbuild when i return.

sweiss · 2005-06-03 12:49:03

Packages should also have lower-case names. What I do in similar cases is creating a _pkgname variable with the real name and using it in the PKGBUILD, so you get

pkgname=ginac
_pkgname=GiNaC

jw · 2005-06-03 14:58:15

ok, i'll just post it now (only takes a minute). iirc i got the strip command from the mame pkgbuild. hope this works for you

}

rafal · 2005-06-05 17:51:05

jw, I've tried your PKGBUILD including stripping the *.oct files, but the package I got is too big as before (132MB). What size has your octave-forge package?

jw · 2005-06-06 08:11:29

hmmnn. mine is 7.9 mb. are you sure you didn't make a typo somewhere? is you got binutils installed?

btw: i think 2004.11.16 is broken with octave 2.1.70. i get the following on startup:

error: /usr/libexec/octave/site/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu/octave-forge/dispatch.oct is not a valid shared library
error: `dispatch' undefined near line 2 column 1
error: near line 2 of file `/usr/share/octave/site/m/octave-forge/comm//PKG_ADD'
error: source: error sourcing file `/usr/share/octave/site/m/octave-forge/comm//PKG_ADD'

could be that i have to recompile. will look into it.

jw · 2005-06-06 22:17:34

i recompiled and am having the same problem as you now. for some reason the strip command does not seem to have much effect. i will have a look around to see if i can figure out what the problem is (need this package as well).

rafal · 2005-06-29 21:17:31

jw: A new octave-forge 2005.06.13 has released. Perhaps this version will work...

jw · 2005-08-13 13:18:17

sorry for the _late_ reply. compiling 2005.06.13 did the trick for me. the package is 2.4Mb on my system. here's the PKGBUILD:

pkgname=octave-forge
pkgver=2005.06.13
srcver=2005.06.13
pkgrel=0
pkgdesc="A collection third-party functions for octave"
depends=('octave' 'libjpeg' 'libpng' 'imagemagick' 'fftw3')
makedepends=('gsl' 'tetex' 'texinfo')
source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/octave/$pkgname-$srcver.tar.gz)
url="http://octave.sourceforge.net/"
#md5sums=('')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$srcver
  ./configure 
    --prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr 
    --with-mpath=$startdir/pkg/usr/share/octave/site/m/octave-forge 
    --with-opath=$startdir/pkg/usr/libexec/octave/site/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu/octave-forge 
    --with-xpath=$startdir/pkg/usr/libexec/octave/site/exec/i686-pc-linux-gnu
  make
  find $startdir/src -type f -name '*.oct' -print0 | xargs -0 -r strip --strip-all
  make install
}

if you're still having problems i can scp you the package.

That's bad pkgbuilding practice -> http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … _Standards

"Avoid using /usr/libexec/ for anything. Use /usr/lib/{pkg} instead."

jw · 2005-08-15 21:58:13

oh sh*t run! it's the package police

just kiddin dibble. anyway, this is not an distribution-grade PKGBUILD, just something i hacked up. however, in this case i am right about the libexec though. just do a

pacman -Ql octave |grep libexec

you'll see that the main octave package stores its files in libexec as well.
