Re: Octave on Mac

[A Scotte Hodel]

octave-forge  installation on Mac requires a couple of steps on my 
machine:

The "magic" was waiting for me in the fink install files for 
octave-forge.

Three things to do:
(1) set SH_LDFLAGS to -lhdf5 when making octave forge.
(2) patch /extra/MacOSX/Makefile :
-sndplay: OFSndPLay.cc
+sndplay: OFSndPlay.cc
        mkdir -p bin
-       CC -ObjC -o bin/ofsndplay OFSndPLay.cc -framework Cocoa
+       cc -ObjC -o bin/ofsndplay OFSndPlay.cc -framework Cocoa


(3) Patch main/image/pngread.cc    (This is where I got the error from 
png.h)
Apparently the order of octave/oct.h and png.h make a difference in the 
compile

-#include <octave/oct.h>
 #include "png.h"
-
+#include <octave/oct.h>
+
 typedef struct
  {
         int width;
