This page is intended as a quick introduction for building octave on archlinux. For more generic and recent build instructions, take a look at [[Building]]. | |||
If you just want to have the latest version of octave and not intend to edit the sources, consider install [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/octave-hg/?comments=all octave-hg] from the AUR. If you want to have a stable version from the repository, just execute | |||
pacman - | sudo pacman -Syu octave | ||
If you encounter any problems during the build process that are not mentioned here, take a look at [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/octave-hg/?comments=all https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/octave-hg/?comments=all]. Some problems are listed in the comments, new dependencies are easy to extract from the PKGBUILD. | |||
== | == Build dependencies == | ||
To install the necessary build dependencies for the full functionality (including JIT Compiler and so on) just execute (as root): | |||
: | pacman -S --needed base-devel pcre mercurial gcc-fortran gperf perl rsync transfig arpack curl fftw fltk glpk glu graphicsmagick hdf5 java-environment qhull qscintilla texinfo gnuplot llvm texlive-bin icoutils | ||
Assuming you have yaourt installed, the dependencies from the AUR are installed as follows (as normal user): | |||
yaourt -S gl2ps qrupdate epstool | |||
If you plan to build the documentation, install the following packets too: | |||
pacman -S graphviz doxygen | |||
== Building octave == | |||
Checkout octave as described in [http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/get-involved.html http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/get-involved.html]. | |||
It is recommended to build octave within a subdirectory. | |||
./bootstrap | |||
mkdir build | |||
cd build | |||
../configure MOC=moc-qt4 UIC=uic-qt4 | |||
make -j3 | |||
The only difference from the build on other systems are the parameters given to configure. They are necessary due to a problem with some configuration and the coexistance of qt4 and qt5. For more information take a look at the comments of octave-hg in the AUR. | |||
If you encounter further problems or find more dependencies, feel free to adress them here. | |||
