Hi,
I encountered some problems when building SuiteSparse and have
applied the patch using:
sudo patch -p1 < patch-SuiteSparse-Portfile
and this appears to apply the patch:
patching file opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/
rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/math/SuiteSparse/Portfile
patching file files/patch-complex-type
patching file files/patch-config
patching file files/patch-disable-demos
patching file files/patch-macports-metis
patching file files/patch-powerpc-nanotime
patching file files/patch-size_t-fix
However, when I come to build octave, I do:
sudo port -v install octave
and get:
Portfile changed since last build; discarding previous state.

Various attempts are made to find the file patch-complex-type to no

Can someone tell me what I need to do to build SuiteSparse?
It has been my experience that the patch is not needed if you do not
mind doing some work yourself. The following steps should allow you
to build SuiteSparse.
1) Go to http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/SuiteSparse/ and
download SuiteSparse-2.1.1.tar.gz. I will assume that you have this
automatically download to ~/Desktop.
2) Do `sudo mv ~/Desktop/SuiteSparse-2.1.1.tar.gz /opt/local/var/db/
dports/distfiles/SuiteSparse/SuiteSparse.tar.gz`. This command
assumes that you have a standard MacPorts installation.
3) Do `sudo port install SuiteSparse` with the standard Portfile (no
patch applied) and it should work.
Thanks.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
