I am attempting to build octave with a gui. From searching the web, I
think building with QT5 is not possible at this time. I attempted to
build with QT4. It seemed to work. But, executing src/octave-gui
results in a CLI version. The files, src/octave-cli and -gui are
different, but, both seem to execute a -cli version.
Does the warning about OpenGL mean that the -gui version will not work?
Ubuntu 18.04
Octave from HG sources.
> cd octave-code
> hg pull
> hg update
> make distclean
> ./configure F77=gfortran --with-qt=4

How do you start your build? Did you run:
$ /home/tomdean/Math/Octave/octave-code/run-octave --gui
to start the GUI from the build, when it is not installed.
Best,
Kai
