Thank you

Could you please post the output of brew gist-logs octave?

Hi there,

I have one - https://gist.github.com/1f5e17c98c0c5a21df3f9e4a4e04926d

That is a log just from brew install dpo/openblas/octave

I tried making brew install dpo/openblas/octave --with-java --with-qt --devel also but that also failed.

I think my MacOS machine is reasonably clean, it was only cleanly installed last year so it hasn't accumulated years of cruft yet.

Thanks for maintaining this project btw, I do appreciate it. 👍

[dpo]

For reference, the error is

It's a (known) problem with the version of automake. It's fixed in #54.

@jpz @smg: you can fix that manually by modifying "/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/dpo/homebrew-openblas/octave.rb". Replace the following line (134)

system "./bootstrap" unless build.stable?

by this piece of code

if build.stable?
  # fix aclocal version issue
  system "autoreconf", "-f", "-i"
else
  system "./bootstrap"
end

It will generate the configure files with the correct version.

Thanks @schoeps ! Would you mind submitting a small PR to fix this issue and subsequently rebase #54?

Hi, I'm still struggling to get a new build to work...
Ive done the automake fix above, and I get a lot futher but i still run into an error...here is the output..

PETERs-Mac-mini:~ peter$ brew install octave

The make-check.log and fntests.log files don't exist (there is no /usr/local/opt/octave directory) to go check ...

Any suggestions for a fix gratefully received....

[schoeps]

I don't know what the issue is now. The compilation obviously works fine (good news!) and the message "Warning: Some tests failed. Details are given in /usr/local/opt/octave/make-check.log" indicates that the tests completed but a few may have failed (this is typically save to ignore). I do not understand where "Error: No such file or directory - test/fntests.log" comes from.

I see two options:

1. you compile "brew install octave --without-test" and it should just work fine. You can run the tests afterwards by "run_test_suite" within Octave.
2. if you want me to figure out what the problem actually is then post here the relevant output of "brew install octave --verbose"

Both options are fine for me :)

[schoeps]

By the way: if you want to be very adventurous, you can also try the new formula for Octave 4.4: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/schoeps/homebrew-openblas/master/octave.rb

[dpo]

You could also post the output of brew gist-logs octave, which will save you the trouble of re-running install --verbose`.

[prosys94086]

Thanks guys, I ran the "brew install octave --verbose", thats a lot of output, I've only included the portion that looks relevant at the end of this post..... if I need to post more let me know..... I'm very new to brew so a little out of my depth here.
Schoeps : how to I do the install of the 4.4.. just download and run that ruby script ?

libinterp/DOCSTRINGS is unchanged

Octave successfully built. Now choose from the following:

make check - to run the tests
make install - to install (PREFIX=/usr/local/Cellar/octave/4.2.1_1)

Ok, qrupdate seems to have issues with you gcc. Maybe you updated gcc but not the dependencies.

I suggest to reinstall brew reinstall dpo/homebrew-openblas/qrupdate and maybe directly also

brew reinstall dpo/homebrew-openblas/arpack
brew reinstall dpo/homebrew-openblas/suite-sparse.rb
brew reinstall dpo/homebrew-openblas/sundials27.rb

Best
Sebastian

hmm... I did the reinstall of qrupdate and then for good measure I tried the reinstalls ofarpack (which worked fine) but I get a 'no recipe' error for suite-sparse.rb and sundials27.rb.

However... this has seemed to allow the standard install of octave to complete successfully (with a warning of some tests failed)...

But Hey, I have a working octave install again... THANK YOU.

Now I'm going to try with --devel --with-qt --with-java and see if the bug I saw that causes the GUI to hang when paginating the printing of larger arrays (press q to quit does nothing, I just have a hung window)

Thanks again,

Peter

[schoeps]

Sorry, my mistake "*.rb" is the filename.... You should run without extension

brew reinstall dpo/homebrew-openblas/suite-sparse
brew reinstall dpo/homebrew-openblas/sundials27

[prosys94086]

All fixed, didn't need those last two reinstalls..
thanks again.

Peter
