Re: [Plplot-devel] Run Octave non-interactive tests with the --no-gui option

[Arjen M. <Arj...@de...>]

Hi Rafael,

Thanks for this update. I will try and test the Octave and SWIG versions you mentioned today or within the next few days. (I am currently limited to Windows-based environments - Cygwin and MinGW, as well as basic Windows - so I may not have access to these versions. But wewill see.)

Regards,

Arjen

Please, consider the improved version of the patch attached to this message. Besides the --no-gui option, it also passes option --no-window-system to Octave, what is the appropriate for running the tests on headless systems.
