[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #37161] "Welcome to Octave" window in infinite loop

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #37161 (project octave):

There's still a problem when running the first time after a make install. The
default_qt_settings_file function needs Voct_etc_dir, but
octave_initialize_interpreter isn't called until after the GUI is up
(octave_main_thread::run). I tried to fix this by simply moving
octave_initialize_interpreter to octave_start_gui, but that causes other
problems (e.g. no readline).

So parts of octave_initialize_interpreter need to run after the GUI, and
specifically QTerminal, is ready, but the GUI setup needs some of the global
values initialized by this function. Maybe split octave_initialize_interpreter
into octave_initialize_interpreter_settings and
octave_initialize_interpreter_terminal?
