Missing octave dependencies : gperf and tex

Reported by: anddam (Andrea D'Amore) Owned by: alakazam@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.8.0
Keywords: deps issue Cc: stechert@…, nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)
Port: octave

Description

While upgrading octave from 3.0.x to 3.2.2 I got two errors, one related to gperf (that I actually did not install) and one about missing TeX.

Notice that I was upgrading the existing octave port so 3.0.x was built without both gperf and a tex binary.

If octave needs those in order to be built then the portfile should definitely list them as deps.

I'm attaching significative excerpts from the output.

gperf (3.0.1 or a more recent version) -- required if you need to recreate oct-gperf.h from octave.gperf

oct-gperf.h and octave.gperf are both part of the latest octave package.

The TeX seems like it is related to texinfo instead, and doesn't seem to occur in a pristine macports install on snow leopard.

Please reopen this issue with more details (list of installed ports maybe, or tests of a working texinfo with octave not getting it to work correctly) if I'm mistaken in closing it.
