BUG: SuiteSparse 2.1.1_0 does not build.

[bytestorm@…]

System: os 10.4.8, xcode 2.4.1, ppc

klu_version.h is included before math.h. This is a problem because klu_version #defines Real and Imag which are used in math.h resulting in gcc to find an error in math.h (duplicate element name "component").

kludemo's dsecnd.c has an x86 asm instruction with no C alternative (the demo is not needed for a working library)

CXSparse's demo wants gfortran (demo unnecessary)

umfpack & cholmod demos want lapack & blas. (available in the vecLib framework, but again, demo unnecessary)

Patch for building SuiteSparse on powerpc

[namely_void@…]

Added an attachment to build SuiteSparse on powerpc. Also sent most of the build fixes upstream. After this octave builds ok. My system is (also) OS X 10.4.8 powerpc and Xcode 2.4.1.

Note that the attached patch uses a lazy way of circumventing the math.h problem. Proper fix would be to use C99 double _Complex types, which seem to be defined at least since OS X 10.3.9.

Below is what I get with the patches. The app is up to 2.3.1. Does it negate the need for any of the patches?

Some of the patches are applied upstream. See ​#11362 for an updated Portfile. Please test on x86, and apply if it works.
