Per Michael Grant's comments in the octave bug report, this is a
non-compliant (illegal) C11++ construct in octave code (but happens to work
in gcc and MSVC).  We can not ask Apple to fix it.  Octave community needs
fix the illegal construct.

As the majority of Octave’s development community works with gcc & clang on 
Linux, and are able to build Octave without. So, there is little motive for 
Octave’s developers to fix the problem. I am not proficient in clang/c++ but am 
willing to contribute to fixing Octave’s source code. I have no problem 
arranging for testing of patches and converting patches to the necessary 
mercurial changesets and ultimately pushing the changes. I may also be able to 
assist in fixing the syntax issues, but will need clear instructions with some 
illustrative examples.

If anyone is interested in fixing the incompatibilities between Octave and 
Apple’s clang let me know. I can provide instructions on how to set up your own 
personal archive and instructions on how to build Octave 3.8.2. That should be 
sufficient to allow individuals to attempt to compile Octave 4.0 and start 
fixing the clang non-compliant code.

I suppose it does not help that Apple is moving over to Metal from OpenGL.

Do the offending modules have to do with OpenGL?

No. The problem is with clang syntax. It is possible to overcome by patching 
Octave (beyond my skill set) or by fixing the clang compiler bug(s) on Apple’s 
end.

OpenGL is the basis for Octave’s native graphics. My understanding is that both 
Metal and OpenGL support will coexist. So Metal shouldn’t be a problem for 
Octave.

Almost everything in Fink uses clang/clang++ to build on 10.7 and later.  I 
don’t happen to have a transcript handy, but it’s a new issue in moving from 
3.8.2, and the issue is that Apple’s clang doesn’t like some of the source code 
and thus Octave can’t be built.

Yes. The problem is that the 4.0.0 code isn’t compatible with Apple’s clang.

Re: [Fink-users] GUI - start?

2015-06-09 Thread Sunil Shah
I should have been careful in my statement about what worked for me.

I am trying to understand the problem you referred to about octave 4.0.0
not building on clang++.

I have been quite impressed with the  performance of Octave code on Mac OSX
using fink.  My tests used octave382-atlas-qtmac  3.8.2-6.  It has also
been quite reliable.

The fact that the code works much faster on four year old hardware with a
lot fewer cpu cores and even after using the latest Ubuntu tools /
libraries on the high end Intel machines on EC2 is remarkable.

Apple does claim that its Accelerate framework is much faster than standard
BLAS / ATLAS. A lot of the improvements were part of 10.9 / 10.10 update
(see WWDC 2013-2014 videos).  I will check if the default "octave" performs
faster than the octave-atlas version.

Now, as you imply in your last email,  if the default "octave" variant uses
clang already, what is the issue with octave 4.0.0 and clang++? Or is it a
new issue in octave 4.0.0 in moving from 3.8.2?

Octave 3.8.2.6 did build with the -dev version on OSX 10.10.3 (latest
production release) on fink 0.38.5

Most of my octave code runs faster on the octave 3.8.2.x  build on iMacs
(late 2011, 4 core intel) than on Octave 4.0.0  on Ubuntu 36 core fastest
Amazon AWS EC2 instance (c4.8xlarge with SSD and 60 GB RAM).

If there is some way to use Clang and Apple's Accelerate framework (Apple
tuned BLAS / LAPACK/Vecor libs)  on Mac OSX, it may really work very well.

There’s no -dev version.  -dev means “contains stuff used for development, but

No, my understanding is that Octave-4 itself wouldn’t build with clang++ .  My

After I also had trouble updating, I did as suggested …

fink remove fltk13-aqua
fink install fltk13-aqua

That worked without complaint. Which surprised me as I have octave-3.8.2 
installed and show-deps indicates fltk13-aqua.

This isn't specific to fltk13-aqua.  Updating any package with a PkgInfo file 
fails on Yosemite.

While we work out a solution, the workaround would be to remove fltk13-aqua and 
then install it, since the issue only is triggered when upgrading.

I can't add it to the FAQ because my computer is in the shop.
