Component: ports Version: 2.3.4

Description

Log attached. The first error seems to be

:info:build In file included from array/Array-ch.cc:29:
:info:build In file included from ./array/Array.h:29:
:info:build In file included from /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../include/c++/v1/cassert:21:
:info:build In file included from /usr/include/assert.h:44:
:info:build ../libgnu/stdlib.h:668:19: error: no member named 'mkostemp' in the global namespace

It seems to be the same as this homebrew issue

I'm experiencing the same problem trying to install Octave on my Sierra system.

I did not get this far. For me it won't even try to install because it wants qt4 which does not support sierra:

This just got fixed under #52208. Do a selfupdate, and qt4-mac will install just fine.

This appears to have been addressed by the fix in the referenced homebrew issue. Should be a simple fix, right?

I just successfully built octave 4.0.3 with a similar patch file using Xcode 8.0 under macOS Sierra.

My build completed successfully as well. Now testing octave-devel.

Be mindful that all versions of octave-devel are currently out of date (this should be a separate ticket). I have just built a local version of octave-devel-rc 4.2.0-rc2 with the same patch.

Same here, I'll get this change pushed and updating octave-devel to a more recent versions can be dealt with separately.
