[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #37623] MinGW: Crash on incorrect syntax

[Duje Roje]

Follow-up Comment #19, bug #37623 (project octave):

Hi,
I just saw this discussion and I have the same problem. Octave closes after
every syntax error and it doesn't plot. I'm using Octave 3.6.4 on Windows 8.

I've tried solving the closing on syntax error by adding -i to the shortcut
path. E.g. the shortcut points to "C:OctaveOctave3.6.2_gcc4.6.2binoctave.exe
-i". But I am unable to change the shortcuts path because the name is not
specified in the Target box. And I can't rename the original file 'cause it
would change the extension. So I'm puzzled to how that is supposed to work.

There is also a suggestion that may solve the plot issue:
"Adding the --line-editing flag did fix the plot issue." 
But I don't know what that means, so I haven't tried it. Or is there some
other way?

I'm not so computer wise to understand most of the other suggestions. But if
someone can help I would appreciate it.

Thank you.
