Orion, it is good that you can now build octave, but what is the run-time story? To discover that you have to run the test targets for octave. You can find those from make help |grep test_octave which on my system produces ... test_octave_psc ... test_octave_qtwidget ... test_octave_tk ... test_octave_wxwidgets ... test_octave_xcairo ... test_octave_xwin Considering all the trouble we had with API changes in octave in the old days from one version to the next, I would be surprised but quite pleased if all those (especially the interactive ones after test_octave_psc) worked for you. For my Octave 3.2.4 version from Debian squeeze (which is the oldest version of Octave we currently support) I have just now tried all these test targets. test_octave_wxwidgets (the wxGC version of the wxwidgets device driver) generated a segfault. Apparently from the comments in the scripts, that always happens whenever multiple plots are tried. So that adds a non-octave issue hat needs to be fixed for the wxwidgets device driver. But the rest of the devices are well maintained, and for them I got no segfaults or any other obvious run-time errors and mostly consistent interactive results. Do you get similar good interactive results (except for test_octave_wxwidgets) for 3.6.0? Same question for you, Andrew, for whatever version of Octave you are testing at the moment. If all three of us can produce good interactive results for octave, then it is probably time to consider making the above interactive tests (except for test_octave_wxwidgets) a dependency of the test_interactive target. (I didn't do that before because in the old days a lot of those interactive tests failed.) Since all the p?? examples appear to be working now for the interactive case, it may also be time to expand the list of examples that are tried for test_octave_psc. Currently that is i=[1:6 8 9 13 15 21]. Of course, since test_octave_psc is already a dependency of the test_noninteractive target, adding such examples should be done with some caution.
