[Kmatplot-general] Debian package ?

[Laurent J. <lja...@fy...>]

Hello,

I have just subscribe to your mailing list and I want to play with kmatplot 
and octave at home on my personal computer under debian woody. 

Does a debian package of kmatplot already exist ?

If not, I can perhaps create it but I have to read carefully the 
doc about debian package creation because I'm new on this distribution. 

Thank you,
L. Jacques.

As you see it isn't a high-traffic list :)  Now I'm working on the next major 
release and it will take me about a month or even more, so there are no new 
annoucements now.

No it doesn't exist yet . You are welcome.

You can try. I know nothing about Debian packages so I won't help you much, 
but it should not be more difficult than creating RPM package I think.

OK. I have already tried to do that but up to now, I have a compilation 
problem. I think it is independent of the package creation. I will give you 
soon the returned error because now I'm not on my personal computer.

For the next (or the next next) version of kmatplot, do you think it is 
possible to integrate octave inside a QT gui ? Just a window with octave 2.1
automatically launch at startup ? This can be perhaps useful for interaction 
with kmatplot figures through some menus of this window. For instance, a menu 
called "view" can then display the name of all existing kmatplot figures.
But this is just an idea...

Excellent work anyway your kmatplot.

Here is the error that I catch when I try a simple compilation of the 
kmatplot sources. I have tried several version of glut (from 3.7-5 to 3.7-11, 
it is perhaps a debianised version number) but it is always the same result.

I obtain also plenty of warning like this one:

Any idea ?

I didn't notice -lXmu in the linker command line.  I'm not an expert in those 
Makefiles - they work in different way on each system. You can force linking 
to Xmu by modifing following lines in Makefiles, this should solve the 
problem. 

kmatplot/demos/Makefile.am:
demo2d_LDADD = ../widgets/libplot.la $(LIB_QT) -lXmu $(GLLIB)
demo3d_LDADD = ../widgets/libplot.la ../opengl/libqgl.la $(LIB_QT) -lXmu 
$(GLLIB)

kmatplot/Makefile.am:
kmatplot_LDADD = ./part/libkmatplot.la -lXmu

I don't know why  you are obtaining  plenty   of warnings ( some pedantic gcc 
version ? ) but probably you can safely ignore them all.
