Proceeded to build with the script you provided for make and got this in the end:

error: __gnuplot_get_var__: Can not make FIFO (Function not implemented)

make[2]: *** [doc/interpreter/voronoi.eps] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2 

That’s a bug related to macOS and GNUPLOT. If Qt configured ok the build should use the Qt for graphics.

Please run by “./run-octave —gui” and let us know what happens? ... gui or error?

Ben

Error...

octave: GUI features missing or disabled in this build

When the build started I noticed a similar warning as we got during configure earlier:

WARNING: Your installation of Qt version 5 appears incomplete or broken in some way.  Fix that or use --with-qt=VER to use another version. 

It went out of the screen pretty quick though. So this is all I can surely recall.

You’re configure script is still not working.

Ben

But I didn't get any warnings after my last configure, no Qt warning or anything at all. So my configure script could still be wrong? 

I'll try to find out what's happening in the meanwhile. 

Search config.status for the summary. Or just run the configure script again and copy the summary at the end into the email.

The end of my summary looks like below

This is the end of my summary:

  Default pager:                 less

  gnuplot:                       gnuplot

Okay so I checked the Building for Macintosh platform wiki page again and noticed I hadn't pasted this...

   export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

   export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"

   export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"

   export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" 

...in my .zshrc file. (I use zsh.)

I cloned the repository in a new folder and ran the scripts you provided(which I slightly modified) for configure and make and went out for a while. It built without any errors this time!

I ran it with --gui and it  ran. Once I pressed the red exit button, it just froze on the screen and I had to close the terminal window. IIRC that's a known bug, I'm gonna have to apply the patches I think.

 

I ran the "make check" command and I got this at the end:
