Thank you, Mike.
For anyone besides me, wanting to have Octave with GUI and Qt support on
armhf:
If you are willing to replace ubuntu with debian, this will work:
On an existing debian stable (Jessie) installation, temporarily add the
testing (Stretch) repositories to /etc/apt/sources, then upda
Correct on all counts. The Qt graphics toolkit depends on GLU. The GUI
itself does not depend on GLU, but at the moment the GUI and Qt graphics
toolkit are built together. If anything, it might be possible in the
future to separate the build to enable the GUI without GLU, but not the
graphics toolk
Would it be possible to add Qt to available_graphics_toolkits, so that
the uicontrol function would work, even if the main IDE GUI does not, or
is this precluded by the same dependency on OpenGL or GLU?
If not, I suppose I could compile Qt with software-openGL myself and use
that to compile octave
The Octave GUI cannot be compiled on Ubuntu's arm architectures.
Ubuntu's Qt is built with GLES2 on the armel and armhf architectures.
The Octave GUI requires full OpenGL and GLU, which are not part of
OpenGLES.
