Hi,
I've finally managed to install java for octave on debian (yuho !). I've missed Michael's hint on applying the patch:
http://octave.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/octave/trunk/octave-forge/extra/java/src/__java__.cc?r1=5080&r2=5371
here is how it looks on my octave:
octave:1> pkg('load','java')
octave:2> java_new
Invalid call to java_new. Correct usage is:
-- Loadable Function: OBJ = java_new (NAME, ARG1, ...)
Additional help for built-in functions and operators is
available in the on-line version of the manual. Use the command
`doc <topic>' to search the manual index.
Help and information about Octave is also available on the WWW
at
http://www.octave.org and via the
address@hiddenmailing list.
However, this did not succeed with: "pkg install java-1.2.6.tar.gz" from within octave, but manually with ./configure make install procedure.
Now I just have to make jhandles run:
Do I have do patch it too ? Also, I know I have to install libjogl on debian. How do I notify the configure where it is located ? (I have it installed)
Many thanks,
Oz.
