It's a bit of a problem that we repeatedly refer to the OpenGL graphics by the toolkit we happen to have used to provide a windowing system for it: fltk. The interesting part is that we use OpenGL, not that we happen to use fltk as a windowing system right now; fltk was one of those "temporary" things we put in place until we had something better.

I don't know if you care, but we could use some help integrating this into Octave:

https://github.com/goffioul/QtHandles

Essentially, this is a more fully-featured interface to te OpenGL plotting engine that uses Qt instead of fltk for the widgets.

Do you have some suggested wording for configure.ac about how to indicate that the OpenGL graphics currently happen to require fltk?

I didn't make the connection between fltk and opengl. Indeed, my patch is not necessary - please close the bug. (I suppose one needs to know that "native graphics" = "fltk with opengl" - maybe a comment in configure.ac would be useful?)

I don't understand. How is this different from --without-opengl?

Make it possible to build octave without FLTK support even if FLTK
is installed.
