Hi
right at the end of running configure, on the warnings section (about not having gnuplot installed etc), if someone does not have gnuplot installed, there's an extra line that simply says "yes".
This does not occur on the stable branch. I have tracked this down to the revision 8a84849ad986 and prepared a changeset. Please pull the revision c753ee228708 from https://bitbucket.org/carandraug/octave
Also, not a bug but on the list of libraries (at the end of the configure output), while some say "libraries" others simply say "LIBS". I have made this consistent. Please pull the revision a25937adede9 from the same place.
I have also found that the multiline warning messages on m4/acinclude.m4 only have "configure: WARNING" on the first line (the others have one per line (the ones at the end of configure.ac). These warns are first stored in warn_thing variable and then passed to OCTAVE_CONFIGURE_WARNING(). Should I replace it by something like
OCTAVE_CONFIGURE_WARNING([gnuplot not found. It isn't necessary to have gnuplot installed, but])
OCTAVE_CONFIGURE_WARNING([without native graphics or gnuplot you won't be able to use any of])
OCTAVE_CONFIGURE_WARNING([Octave's plotting commands.])
? I don't see the warn variables being used anymore but if they exist to know that we have already warned about it, They could maybe be replaced by warn_thing=yes ? I can prepare a changeset for this.
