Hi, What would be needed for it to become an Octave package? Regards, Benson On 01/18/2019 09:04 PM, Ankur Sinha wrote:
Hello, I'm looking at including SPM12[1] as part of NeuroFedora[2]. It's primarily written for Matlab, but it works on Octave as well. SPM upstream also works with Octave upstream to improve Matlab compatibility etc. Unfortunately, as a more Matlab centric package, SPM is not set up to be set up to be installed as an Octave package like ones hosted at Octave forge[3]. Currently, one simply runs `make && make install` in the src directory anywhere on one's system, and then either uses the "spm12-octave" script to run the "standalone" version of SPM, or runs it from octave using "addpath (/path/to/spm12/build)". The source does not contain the required files to use `pkg build, pkg install` etc. as the template spec and octave macros suggest[4]. So, how should one approach this? - Should I stick to `make && make install` and then manually install the files (so, not use `pkg ...` at all)? * If so, where should the files be installed? Should they be installed in the standard octave directories, or in the general FHS locations? - Should I add the bits to make it a package (locally in the spec), and then use the rpm macros (and so treat it like a standard octave package)? This will need a little bit of work downstream, and upstream will most likely not accept these Octave specific bits.
