------
Octave
------
Octave has its own build system for installing packages.
^^^^^^
Phases
^^^^^^
The ``OctaveBuilder`` and ``OctavePackage`` base classes have a single phase:
#. ``install`` - install the package
By default, this phase runs the following command:
.. code-block:: console
$ octave '--eval' 'pkg prefix <prefix>; pkg install <archive_file>'
Beware that uninstallation is not implemented at the moment. After uninstalling
a package via Spack, you also need to manually uninstall it from Octave via
``pkg uninstall <package_name>``.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Finding Octave packages
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Most Octave packages are listed at https://octave.sourceforge.io/packages.php.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dependencies
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Usually, the homepage of a package will list dependencies, i.e.
``Dependencies: Octave >= 3.6.0 struct >= 1.0.12``. The same information should
be available in the ``DESCRIPTION`` file in the root of each archive.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
External Documentation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
