<br></div><div>Tests were carried on on a Mac <br></div>Here is a summary of what we've got so far, thanks to Dominick and Steve:<br><br> * Preliminary tests show that RcppOctave builds against Octave, when the later is built from source using the instructions from <a href="http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_Mac" target="_blank">http://wiki.<span>octave</span>.org/Octave_for_Mac</a><br>
<br></div> * Mac Ports octave packages are out-dated (3.2.4) and RcppOctave will not build against them<br><br></div><div> * Homebrew has up-to-date Octave versions, which seem to work fine with RcppOctave. The reference instructions to install it can be found at <a href="http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_MacOS_X#Homebrew" target="_blank">http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_MacOS_X#Homebrew</a>.<br>
</div><div>Basically this amounts to:<br> 1. install XCode and its Command Line Tools<br></div><div> 2. install homebrew<br></div><div> 3. add the homebrew/science repository (tap in brewing language):<br><br> $ brew tap homebrew/science<br>
</div><div> $ brew update && brew upgrade<br> $ brew tap --repair #may not be necessary<br></div><div> $ brew install gfortran<br></div><div> $ brew install octave<br></div><div><br></div>
<div>
There was an issue due to gfortran not being found (not sure if this would be the case after brew install gfortran), and Dominick provided a solution here: <a href="http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rcppoctave-user/2013-October/000020.html" target="_blank">http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rcppoctave-user/2013-October/000020.html</a><br>
