Re: Octave.app 64-bit?
This might explain what's happening: sh-3.2$ file /Applications/MacPorts/Octave.app/Contents/MacOS/Octave /Applications/MacPorts/Octave.app/Contents/MacOS/Octave: POSIX shell script text executable, ASCII text What would usually be the application executable is a shell script wrapper; maybe that's preventing certain utilities from determining the bit-ness of the app, or from doing so correctly. sh-3.2$ cat /Applications/MacPorts/Octave.app/Contents/MacOS/Octave #!/bin/sh /opt/local/bin/octave-5.1.0 --gui "$@" Examining the executable called by the wrapper: sh-3.2$ file /opt/local/bin/octave-5.1.0 /opt/local/bin/octave-5.1.0: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 it's 64-bit (at least in the precompiled port for Mojave). All the rest of the executables and dynamic libraries in the package appear to be 64-bit too. I didn't look inside static libraries, but I don't imagine they'd be any different. > On Oct 11, 2019, at 11:14, Murray Eisenberg wrote: > > I asked the question because EtreCheck Pro reports > /Applications/MacPorts/Octave.app to be 32-bit.

Re: Octave.app 64-bit?
I asked the question because EtreCheck Pro reports /Applications/MacPorts/Octave.app to be 32-bit. On the other hand, macOS System Information > Software does not list octave at all, either as 32-bit or as 64-bit! Command port -v installed octave does show archs='x86_64' but it was unclear to me whether that applies to the octave.app front end to the octave engine. > On 11 Oct2019, at 8:00 AM, macports-users-requ...@lists.macports.org wrote: > > Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2019 22:25:03 +0100 > From: Christopher Jones <mailto:jon...@hep.phy.cam.ac.uk>> > To: MacPorts Users <mailto:macports-us...@lists.macosforge.org>> > Subject: Re: Octave.app 64-bit? > > Unless you are installing something universal, or i386, it will be 64 bit > (i.e. x86_64 arch). > > ( Also, by construction, if the port finds and runs on macOS 10.15 it will > have to be 64 bit… ) > >> On 10 Oct 2019, at 10:12 pm, Murray Eisenberg > <mailto:murrayeisenb...@gmail.com>> wrote: >> >> Is the current version of octave.app, installed with octave+app, 64-bit and >> hence compatible with Catalina? >> >> if not, what are the prospects? >> >> In general, is there any way to tell which macports ports are, or are not, >> 64-bit? >> >> --- >> Murray Eisenberg murrayeisenb...@gmail.com >> <mailto:murrayeisenb...@gmail.com> > > -- > > Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2019 17:46:52 -0400 > From: "Bill Cole" <mailto:macportsusers-20171...@billmail.scconsult.com>> > To: macports-users@lists.macports.org > <mailto:macports-users@lists.macports.org> > Subject: Re: Octave.app 64-bit? > > On 10 Oct 2019, at 17:25, Christopher Jones wrote: > >> Unless you are installing something universal, or i386, it will be 64 >> bit (i.e. x86_64 arch). > > Also, you can check the architecture of whatever is actually installed > with: > > port -v installed --- Murray Eisenbergmurrayeisenb...@gmail.com 503 King Farm Blvd #101 Home (240)-246-7240 Rockville, MD 20850-6667Mobile (413)-427-5334

A dirty and maybe not 100% reliable way: grep -r i386 | grep -v x86_64 | grep supported_archs This returns 75 results, but some are just bogus, like TeXShop, when there's a newer TeXShop4 port available, or Qt 3, ... Probably the most problematic ones are Wine, some other emulators (dosbox, ...) ... the rest are ancient apps that probably nobody would notice if they get removed. Mojca

Re: Octave.app 64-bit?
Unless you are installing something universal, or i386, it will be 64 bit (i.e. x86_64 arch).

Octave.app 64-bit?
Is the current version of octave.app, installed with octave+app, 64-bit and hence compatible with Catalina? if not, what are the prospects? In general, is there any way to tell which macports ports are, or are not, 64-bit? --- Murray Eisenbergmurrayeisenb...@gmail.com 503 King Farm Blvd #101 Home (240)-246-7240 Rockville, MD 20850-6667Mobile (413)-427-5334
