To avoid license violations do not bundle Metis with Octave and then distribute to others. MacPorts' Octave port includes the non-GPL METIS. For the remainder of this page, it is assume a local portfile is being used and that the port name is octave-local. If the current version of the octave-devel port isn't current, it will be necessary to produce a local portfile. However, there are times when the maintainers fall behind. MacPorts has historically been rather good a maintaining their Octave portfiles. The entire installation process can take a few hours. Octave has many dependencies which will be downloaded and installed prior to Octave.

To install the most recent version of Octave, type sudo port install octave-devel at the Terminal's command line. A list of what MacPorts has available for Octave is here.
Follow MacPorts' installation instructions. Install XCode: This is done via the MacOS X App Store. Similar in aim and function to Fink and the BSDs' ports collections.Īn itemized overview of a MacPorts install is below. #INSTALL MACPORTS ON MAC SOFTWARE#
It is a free/open source software project to simplify installation of other free/open source software. MacPorts, formerly called DarwinPorts, is a package management system that simplifies the installation of software on the MacOS X and Darwin operating systems.
Once the dependencies are resolved, the DMG may be created by sudo port mdmg octave-devel MacPorts. While editing the Portfile for octave-devel, the references to metis should also be removed to avoid a GPL violation. This means that Xfig output is not available using Octave's print() function/command. To resolve this, the octave-devel Portfile must be modified and the Transfig run-time dependency removed. There is one dependency ( Transfig) for which x11 is not optional. Review the output of the command port rdeps octave-devel to identify the ports whose variants must be modified to avoid gcc45 and xorg-libx11. The sudo port mdmg octave-devel command fails when bundling the xorg-libx11 port. To look for ports using a gcc45 variant, type port rdeps gcc45 at the terminal's command line. gcc-4.7 must be used, as some dependencies are no longer supported by gcc-4.5. Since the initial success with producing a bundle, two things have changed on the Macports end. 5.1 Fixing "dyld: Library not loaded" Errors. 5 Problems, Restrictions, and Annoyances of the App Bundle. 
4 Running Octave from the Terminal's Command Line. 3.2 Create an Application Template for Octave. 3.1 Produce a DMG for Octave and its dependencies. 2.2 Install Dependencies with Specific Variants.
