On 3.6.0_gcc4.6.2 MinGW, this seems to have been fixed.

The commands in Tatsuro's original post work for me, a neat .png file is made and Octave responds to key presses.

Closing this report

oppps ...

I had intended to follow up when John first asked about this. My impression had been that printing ultimately resulted in a hang under MinGW. Since using the MSYS shell may be used as a work around, I think changing the severity back to normal is the correct thing to do.

I have forgotten to write. If I execute Octave on the Msys shell like the case './run-octave', this phenomenon does not happen.

Still an issue for me.
For assignment, I have no opinion.

Since there has been no comment with a convincing argument as to why this should be a blocker, I'm lowering the severity to normal.

Tatsuro, does the patch Ben posted solve this problem, or is it still an issue for you?

I'm not sure why this report was tagged as a blocker.

If it only affects fltk and mingw, I think the priority should be normal and it should not block the release.

>Does windows have a problem mixing the slash "/" and back-slash "\" in the paths?


The above depend on the situation.

In the programing language C, awk, perl, Octave and etcs. can both treats slash and backslash.


However, cmd shell can only treat backslash.
 This might be possible to be the origins current error.

I've attached a changeset to the tracker item below (Cannot print in eps form in fltk)

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?31967

Since ps and pdf printing work, please try printing with the debug flag for pdf and ps.

print -debug test4.pdf
print -debug test5.ps

By comparing the results with the png result we may find the problem.

Also, is png the only format that hangs? What about jpeg?

print -debug test6.jpg

Please try adding the debug option to the print command. This will tell us both the ghostscript command the the pipeline Octave is trying to use.


backend fltk
fplot ("[cos(x), sin(x)]", [0, 2*pi]);
print -debug test3.png


For MacOS X, I get ...


Ghostscript command: '/sw/bin/gs -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sDEVICE=png16m -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -r150x150 -dEPSCrop -sOutputFile=test3.png -'

Hello

I have noticed that

************
backend('fltk')
fplot ("[cos(x), sin(x)]", [0, 2*pi]);
print test3.png
*************::

After that no keyboad press is accepted at the prompt, I have to close the octave windows to kill the process.

Regards

Tatsuro
