Plot doesn't work in run-octave mode on Gnu Emacs 24.2 with Octave 3.6.2 VS2010 build on Windows XP 32-bit

Hi,

 

I have Gnu Emacs 24.2 and I'm doing run-octave for Octave 3.6.2 Visual Studio 2010 build on Windows XP 32-bit.

 

Octave runs plot(1:10) but doesn’t pop up a window.  This is with QT graphics.  I tried changing graphics to gnuplot or fxlt and that doesn’t help

 

If I run the same Octave.exe outside of Gnu Emacs and issue the same plot command, it pops up a window with the plot, no problem.

 

Eli Zaretski from address@hidden had this idea:

 

Does Octave need to see that its input is coming from a console, to be able to pop up the window and plot?  If so, that's the reason: on Windows, Emacs subprocesses are run through a pipe, not a pty as on Unix.

 

Thanks,

Lars Ericson
