RE: Octave 3.5.92 snapshot available for ftp

[Robinson, Melvin D]

I would like to try this build on Lion too.  Can you tell me where you got the 
file qhull.diff?  Also, what version of Qhull are you using?

I pulled and built the stable branch this morning (it is possible my last build 
was yesterday).

When I tried to build 3.5.92 using a port file via Macports, it also failed for 
me (I haven't looked into why).

Building 3.5.92 directly also failed. I used the script below.

VER="4.6"

export CC=/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-$VER
export CXX=/opt/local/bin/g++-mp-$VER
export CXXCPP="/opt/local/bin/g++-mp-$VER -E"

export FC=/opt/local/bin/gfortran-mp-$VER
export CXXFLAGS="-pipe -O2 -g -m64 -ggdb3"
export FFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -D_THREAD_SAFE -pthread -gstabs"

export LDFLAGS=-L$PREFIX/lib
export CPPFLAGS=-I$PREFIX/include
export BLAS_LIBS="-lcblas -lf77blas -latlas"
export LAPACK_LIBS=-llapack
./configure --prefix="/opt/local" --without-framework-carbon --with-x \
            --with-cholmod="-lcholmod -lmetis"
