[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44418] Qt/FLTK gl2ps EPS printing doesn't scale and orient image correctly.

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #44418 (project octave):

Is it that far back already?  I haven't upgraded since then because that's
when Gnome switched over to 3.0.

I built 1.3.8 gl2ps without many problems (unlike OSMesa).


tar -xzf gl2ps-1.3.8.tgz
cd gl2ps-1.3.8-source
cmake CMakeLists.txt
make install


The one problem is that with these default install directories:


-- Install configuration: "RelWithDebInfo"
-- Installing: /usr/local/lib/libgl2ps.a
-- Installing: /usr/local/lib/libgl2ps.so.1.3.8
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/lib/libgl2ps.so.1
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/lib/libgl2ps.so
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/include/gl2ps.h


(and I uninstalled my old gl2ps version, which basically was
/usr/include/gl2ps.h and /usr/lib64/libgl2ps.so) Octave is able to recognize
/usr/local/include/gl2ps.h at configure time and build with that gl2ps.h, but
at run time Octave can't find the library file:


[@ build1]# ./run-octave 
/usr/local/src/octave/octave-gnuplot_bugs44187/build1/src/.libs/lt-octave-gui:
error while loading shared libraries: libgl2ps.so.1: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory


I just created a link into the lib64 library directory and things were fine
afterward.

Version check?  Eh, on second thought it would end up being cruft.  On the
other hand, it might be nice to have a list of "won't be fixed" bugs
associated with the Octave webpage, specifically in the "report a bug"
section.  That list would be static and really wouldn't need to be maintained
other than adding to the end of the list, something like


DATE | ISSUE                  | PROBLEM        | SOLUTION
-----------------------------------------------------------
XYX  | Printed images missing | gl2ps < V1.3.8 | Upgrade 
     | or improperly oriented | has scale bug  | gl2ps
