just to point out that I solved my problem with menus in qtoctave (see above comment dated 27 October 2009). The merit goes to Ted Rippert, who in

http://groups.google.com/group/qtoctave-english/browse_thread/thread/19187ee734e316cf/8344a04b4189a0e3?lnk=gst&q=qtoctave#8344a04b4189a0e3

suggested this solution:

“Just make 2 changes to mainwindow.cpp in the src directory of
the unzipped code.

change line 216 to:
menubar = new QMenuBar(0);

comment out line 237:
//setMenuBar(menubar);

That’s all it took. Works great. You could probably put an if_define
switch in the code to make this only happen on macs if you wanted to
put a patch into the main code version.

By the way, I did install easy_plot and it works fine, but I had to
make sure that I had set the environment variable GNUTERM=x11. If
it’s set to aqua, then you just get an empty window in easy_plot. ”

Hope it helps

For the “Archivos de programa” to vanish, you have to do the following:

First set the proper prefix (pkg prefix [path]).
Then rebuild packaged (pkg rebuild [package name]).

For example, to rebuild audio package you would write

pkg prefix Z:\qtoctave\octave\share\octave\packages\
pkg rebuild audio

Adjust the path as needed, obviously. Actually, you probably won’t even need the prefix part. Just type “pkg rebuild audio”.

Instale qtOctave con la debianización publicada en Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic.
Eso si, resultó más práctico instalar octave 3.2 desde el administrador synaptic, y usar la debianización del paquete para qtoctave0.8.2 que se encuentra dentro del *.zip publicado (existen dependencias de qt4 y librerías, pero al instalar el paquete desde la consola, las dependencias son informadas y se puede buscar en el administrador de paquetes synaptic, para mayor facilidad.

Creo que qtOctave 0.8.2 está excelente.

¡Gracias!

Thats because joebob doesn’t exist. So I tried to create the files. Than at least qtoctave ist starting but the menues are missing with the error prompt:
[Sytax::load] /opt/local/share/qtoctave/octave.xml loaded
Error: /Users/joebob/.qtoctave/menus not found

Do you know some workaround ?

Many thanks to the developer for this wonderful applications. I did not know QT was so powerful.

I succesfully installed and compiled qtoctave to my MacBook Pro running Mac Os X 10.6 aka Snow Leopard with QT 4.5.3. If you need directions, please ask me in this forum and I will provide them.

Everythink is working fine, but I have two problems:

1) Menus won’t load; both default ones in /usr/local/share/qtoctave/menus and custom ones in ~/.qtoctave/menus won’t show up in the menu bar. The only entry is the useless ‘qtoctave’. The only exception is when the focus is on the editor window, where I can see the defualt editing menus (View, File, Edit, Run, Tools, Config). I can use qtoctave without menus, but I really would like to enable them;

2) I do not know how to use easy_plot. This is not a bug, it is just my ignorance

On a side note, did anybody manage to install the QT terminal for gnuplot on Snow Leopard? I get plenty of errors when compiling gnuplot witht the –eneable-qt option…

Thank you very much for any help!
