[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44751] Failure to exit when running Octave in --no-gui mode

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #44751 (project octave):

Just to do something easy first to see if it solves the problem, give this
changeset a try.  (Actually it is two changesets back to back.)

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=33550

But don't apply it as a changeset.  Instead, use the system's patch command to
make changes.

With a repository with no modifications, i.e., type "hg diff" and there are no
diff hunks, apply the patches as follows:

1) Copy the above file into the base Octave directory.  (I.e., where .hg
directory resides.)

2) Type "patch -p1 < octave-qt_without_gui-djs2015apr05.patch" and both
patches should apply cleanly.  If not, then let me know.  If you want to first
test what will happen without actually patching, try "patch -p1 --dry-run <
octav-qt_without_gui-djs2015apr05.patch".

3) Recompile Octave.

Now test whether that fixed the exit problem.  It might not.  If not, that
helps identify what the problem is in any case.

4) If you type "hg diff" you'll see the changes that were applied by the
patch.  But you can get back to a clean repository easily with "hg revert
--all", and then recompile.
