Just to remark on how the test suite can be used for this purpose, if the directions in drivers/README.drivers are followed when Hazen adds the quartz cairo device, then (assuming he decides to call that device qcairo) both the test_c_qcairo target and the test_octave_qcairo targets will automatically be added to the new test suite for those users (i.e., Mac OS X users) with access to quartz. Here are the interactive device test targets we currently have for C and Octave: ... test_c_qtwidget ... test_c_tk ... test_c_wxwidgets ... test_c_xcairo ... test_c_xwin ... test_octave_qtwidget ... test_octave_tk ... test_octave_wxwidgets ... test_octave_xcairo ... test_octave_xwin The C ones are fine and therefore have been made dependencies of the test_interactive target (i.e., will be run whenever you execute "make test_interactive" on Unix or the Windows equivalent of that on Windows platforms). Of the octave ones, only test_octave_qtwidget works properly now (but just for a subset of the Octave "p" examples). I have given details of all the Octave bugs and interactive device incompatibilities on the bugtracker. As soon as those issues are resolved, then I plan to make all the test_octave_* targets dependencies of the test_interactive target just like their test_c_* interactive test target counterparts.
