[SOLVED] Re: qtoctave on Mac Os X 10.6 Snow Leopard - menus not working

[coccoinomane]

Hello everybody,

just to point out that I solved my problem with menus in qtoctave. The merit
goes to Ted Rippert, who in 

http://groups.google.com/group/qtoctave-english/browse_thread/thread/19187ee734e316cf/8344a04b4189a0e3?lnk=gst&q=qtoctave#8344a04b4189a0e3

suggested this solution:

Just make 2 changes to mainwindow.cpp in the src directory of
the unzipped code.

change line 216 to:
menubar = new QMenuBar(0);

comment out line 237:
//setMenuBar(menubar);

That's all it took.  Works great.  You could probably put an if_define
switch in the code to make this only happen on macs if you wanted to
put a patch into the main code version.

By the way, I did install easy_plot and it works fine, but I had to
make sure that I had set the environment variable GNUTERM=x11.  If
it's set to aqua, then you just get an empty window in easy_plot. 


Hope it helps :) ... and I swear this is my last post on qtoctave!

Cheers,

G.
