[FLASH-USERS] FLASH and Octave

[Nathan Hearn]

Hi Aaron,

   What versions of Octave (and SWIG) are you using?  Technically,
you don't usually need SWIG installed because swig/*_wrap.cpp files
for Python and Octave are included in QuickFlash.  However, if you
have SWIG available, you can try deleting these two files (or, at
least, the one for Octave), and then running build.py --enable-octave
again.  This should create new wrapper files, which may be more
compatible with your system setup.

   There might be something else going on, but this is a good place to start.

I have added the appropriate lines to build.py and config/config_machine.py (see attachments) to get past that, but now I am unable to reference the function link_to_global_variable (see below).  Can you tell me what header file it is declared in?  In addition, I have been using the unigrid branch until now.  Is there any potential that the octave-swig branch as it currently exists will not be able to read uniform grid meshes?
