Re: Mac OS Binary

[Ray Zimmerman]

It runs for me on a 2014 MacBook Pro Retina w/2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 running El Capitan 10.11.1. I have the latest Xcode installed, as well as MacPorts, but not Fink or homebrew.

I’ve tried essentially two modes of running Octave:

 (1) with the GUI, either by double-clicking the app icon in the Finder or by typing in a Terminal window::

$ /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/bin/octave --force-gui

(2) without the GUI, by typing in a Terminal window:

$ /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/bin/octave --no-gui

Here are the anomalies I see:

- (2) still opens up an octave-gui app (with no open windows). Quitting that app causes octave to exit with a segfault.

- (2) runs the test suite for some of my code  >3x slower than (1)!!

- attempting a plot in (1) results in a hang with a spinning rainbow

- attempting a plot in (2) results in a successful plot (sometimes), followed by a segfault upon trying to manipulate the figure window

Dear all,

can you try the following Octave 4.0.0 build based on homebrew? It should run on >10.10. I will create a wiki-page once one of you has confirmed that the file is actually working...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/f7gq5fe7badj40s/Octave-Installer.dmg?dl=0

The final dmg will have a nice background, readme.txt, a GPL information and the list of dependencies that I have attached to this mail; after our discussion on the mailing list I consider this as sufficient for shipping.

The creation of the dmg is totally automated (script attached), so we could offer daily builds of the development version if we like to.
