That's true. I think some sort of reproducibility was nice. My
favorite solution was to have some specified build and test environment
(Maybe some VM image / specification of installed packages only) for
Octave releases.
I am not too much into plotting. Maybe I need some explanation here:
- I installed all qt tools, fltk and gnuplot [1, configure section]
which are all detected.
- On my OpenSUSE 15.1 desktop with active x session, I get for octave-cli:
>> available_graphics_toolkits() --> {fltk, gnuplot}
and inside the GUI and the qt command line version of Octave:
>> available_graphics_toolkits() --> {fltk, gnuplot, qt}
On my build server (without X session and inside a "GNU Screen version
4.06.02" session), when I started the build version, I get for
"./run-octave", which starts the GUI version
octave: X11 DISPLAY environment variable not set
octave: disabling GUI features
>> available_graphics_toolkits() --> {gnuplot}
Is there the root of that problem, that you build the distribution
tarball on our desktop?
