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 toolkit.
Yes, building your own Qt should work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611688 Title: GUI is missing from armhf version To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave/+bug/1611688/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
