[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53186] Without osmesa it is not possible to print/getframe invisible figures

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #17, bug #53186 (project octave):

Just want to note that I've found I can now build without any special driver
pre-install (nVidia) and the figures in the doc/interpreter directory look
correct.  However, if I do use a driver pre-install, the build hangs:


linux# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so make -j4; ./run-octave
--no-gui

[snip]

  CXXLD    src/octave-gui
  GEN      src/octave-gui-4.3.0+
  MAKEINFO /home/usr3/octave/octave/octave/doc/interpreter/octave.info
  GEN      doc/interpreter/voronoi.eps
  GEN      doc/interpreter/triplot.eps
  GEN      doc/interpreter/griddata.eps
libGL error: libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found

libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
  GEN      doc/interpreter/convhull.eps
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast


At this point the build process is frozen and one cannot break out.  Looking
up the process ID and kill -9 is required.

If this is simply a case of don't-do-that-anymore, that's fine, so long as
occasional builders with nVidia drivers realize that (e.g., Linux bundle
maintainers).
