octave-audio @1.1.4_0 build failure

[mkb-prime@…]

I get a build failure when installing octave-audio.

gcc-mp does not support ObjC. The compilers distributed with Xcode however do (clang, llvm-gcc).

Trying to enforce clang by overriding configure.compiler doesn't help as main.log shows that configure still selected gcc-mp.

$ sudo port install -v octave-audio configure.compiler=clang
...
Error: Processing of port octave-audio failed
$ cat /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_octave-audio/octave-audio/main.log | grep "checking for gcc"
:info:build checking for gcc... /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.7

I installed the octave-audio package manually instead, like this:

mkdir /var/tmp/oct-5kFozQ
cd /var/tmp/oct-5kFozQ/
tar -zxvf /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/octave-audio/audio-1.1.4.tar.gz
cd audio-1.1.4
./configure
make
make install

Related: when installing octave-devel I managed to make configure use the overriden configure.compiler=clang (according to its main.log), but the build fails. Without overriding configure.compiler configure selects gcc-mp-4.7 which works to build octave-devel. I haven't seen any problems arise yet from compiling octave-devel with gcc-mp-4.7 and octave-audio with clang.

Please do:

sudo port clean octave-audio
sudo port selfupdate

and then try installing it again. Should be fixed with r114034.
