Fix cvxopt on FreeBSD

[peterjeremy]

cvxopt requires C99 math functions that are not part of the base FreeBSD libraries. #9543 uses cephes to provide these missing functions but referencing them requires that cvxopt search $SAGE_LOCAL/include. The attached patch modified spkg-install to
include this.

This patch is local to Sage and does not need to be reported upstream.

Attachment: cvxopt-0.9.p8.patch.gz

hi, i think this should be coordinated with #6456

An equivalent patch for cvxopt-1.1.2.p1 has been attached to #6456. On the assumption that the newer cvxopt will supplant cvxopt-0.9, this ticket can be closed.

Whilst I realise this should be coordinated with #6456, I thought it wise that this got positive review first, to make merging easier.

The fix is clearly FreeBSD specific, so will not impact any other system.

There hasn't been very recent activity at #6456. Does it make sense to put together a new p10 (based on the p9 in 4.6.alpha2), so we can merge this ticket?

I've just done some more work on #6456.

Work Issues: Add link to updated spkg

This ticket is not actionable without an updated spkg or a positive review at #6456, so I'm changing the status to "needs work".

Apparently Stephen Montgomery-Smith has had some success with this recently as a "port"

Is anyone working on the FreeBSD port now? I'm not aware of Peter working on it. I think he got a bit fed up with what he called the

"release it now, we'll make it work later" mentality.

(They are Peter's words, not mine. See #9601.)

Oops, Peter put his comments on #6456, not #9601 which is this ticket!

Well, a friend of one of the WeBWorK developers did manage to make a Sage that passed most tests not too long ago. See the link in comment:9.

I think this can be closed now since this is in the current cvxopt.
