Octave on Yosemite via Fink

[Ben Abbott]

I’ve managed to build Octave on Yosemite using Fink for dependencies. I 
essentially copied the process developed by Alexander Hansen who maintains 
Octave for Fink.

For those interested, I’m attached two scripts. One is needed to patch Octave 
(a link to the patch is found in the patch script), and the second is needed to 
build.

To manage a build, 

(1) fink install bison
(2) fink install octave-atlas-qtmac-dev
(3) From the Octave’s build directory (you’ll need to clone the sources)
(4) run patch_octave.sh
(5) run configure_octave.sh
(6) make
(7) ./run_octave

Don't run the install as it will install into Fink's directory structure.
