[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56416] Incorrect octave.bat - missing MSYSTEM, usr\bin, qt graphics

[Benjamin Szőke]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #56416 (project octave):

Octave.vbs use the "octave-gui.exe --no-gui" and it is working well thanks to
that correct path and any other declared variables.

But, i can not use octave.vbs when i want to execute it from an own C program
as a childprocess with pipe interface. Octave.vbs will start octave-gui.exe as
a background process in a new cmd window (then exit), so that my own C program
does not have any pipe connection to the octave-gui.exe.

If i use the "octave.bat --no-gui" it is better because the bat file will run
octave-gui.exe in the same cmd and it will be the same childprocess. In this
case the pipe connection is fine and works well.

In the past i never used any plots and figure printing and the octave-cli.exe
was enough for my tasks. But now i need a correct qt graphics for plots in
command-line octave, too.

I think in the future a fixed octave.bat (with using octave-gui.exe --no-gui)
should be better to a general executing method in MS Windows than the
octave.vbs script.
