Octplot fails to compile on Debian

[Nobody/Anonymous]

I tried to install octplot but it quits with an error
that it cannot find Fl/Fl.h. I have every package which provides fltk
installed :

# apt-get install fltk1.1-doc fluid libfltk1.1-dev libfltk1.1c102
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
fltk1.1-doc is already the newest version.
fluid is already the newest version.
libfltk1.1-dev is already the newest version.
libfltk1.1c102 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 511 not upgraded.

locate Fl.h yields nothing of use in this situation :

# locate Fl.h
/usr/share/doc/fltk1.1-doc/HTML/Fl.html

To fix this, please find the line in src/figure.cpp, near the top which says:

#include "Fl/Fl.h"
and change to

#include <Fl/Fl.H>

Please tell me if it works for you. Strangely enough my compiler does not complain ...

It works.

Thanks. Though the UI looks rather like matlab's UI, does it really support nearly everything ? For instance, I do not see the tabs for text labels, arrows, etc.

Well, currently it supports a rather small subset of matlab's UI, but one which is enough to do some work.
Arrows are not yet implemented, but text is working (using the text command). You can also zoom using the mouse.

for the documentation, please try
