[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57424] Running the test suite on Windows crashes Octave

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #57424 (project octave):

Yes this looks like the same bug as bug #57245. In any event, the condition
for running this test should be 


- if (ispc () || ! __have_feature__ ("OSMESA"))
+ if (! __have_feature__ ("QT_OFFSCREEN")
+     || ! strcmp (graphics_toolkit (), "qt"))


AFAIK recent versions of Octave don't support OSMESA anymore. Here is an
excerpt of the NEWS file for Octave 5.1



- The OSMesa library is no longer used.  To print invisible figures
  when using OpenGL graphics, the Qt `QOFFSCREENSURFACE` feature must be
  available and you must use the qt graphics toolkit.

 

I attached a patch meant to remove leftover references to osmesa. 
To make myself clear, I am not suggesting to workaround this bug with the
patch but rather to apply the patch once this bug is properly fixed.
