Dear all,
I have a couple of questions concerning the "configure" script...
(source = mercurial tip)
If I configure with "./configure --without-fltk", I get "Build Octave
GUI: yes" and the following warnings:
configure: WARNING: --without-fltk specified. Native graphics will be
disabled.
configure: WARNING: JAVA_HOME environment variable not initialized.
Auto-detection will proceed but is unreliable.
configure: WARNING:
configure: WARNING: I didn't find the necessary libraries to compile native
configure: WARNING: graphics. It isn't necessary to have native graphics,
configure: WARNING: but you will need to have gnuplot installed or you won't
configure: WARNING: be able to use any of Octave's plotting commands
What does "native graphics" mean ?
And why do I get a warning about not finding libraries for "native
graphics", since "native graphics" have been disabled because of
--without-fltk ?
Now, if I configure with "./configure --without-opengl" I get instead
"Build Octave GUI: no" and
configure: WARNING: --without-opengl specified. Native graphics will be
disabled.
configure: WARNING: JAVA_HOME environment variable not initialized.
Auto-detection will proceed but is unreliable.
configure: WARNING: --without-opengl was specified -- disabling GUI
configure: WARNING:
configure: WARNING: I didn't find the necessary libraries to compile native
configure: WARNING: graphics. It isn't necessary to have native graphics,
configure: WARNING: but you will need to have gnuplot installed or you won't
configure: WARNING: be able to use any of Octave's plotting commands
Why does disabling OpenGL lead to "Build Octave GUI: no" ?
If I remember correctly, with Octave 8.2 I could disable OpenGL and
still get a working GUI with gnuplot as a graphics toolkit. Has this
changed ?
