Welcome to the GNU oleo wiki!

GNU Oleo is a X11/Motif spreadsheet calculator program.
To build it on Ubuntu Linux 18.04 you need to install first libmotif-dev, libplot-dev, libxbae-dev, libxmhmtl-dev. You can also install sciplot-dev for nicer plots.

To build use:

./configure --without-SciPlot --disable-nls if you don't use SciPlot and ./configure --disable-nls --with-SciPlot-libraries=/usr/lib --with-SciPlot-includes=/usr/include

In the second case, edit the Makefile in src and change the capitalization -lSciPlot to -lsciplot everywhere. In all cases, be sure to disable NLS. Internationalization in Oleo is full of bugs and you won't be able to enter decimals in the spreadsheet if your locale isn't using the '.' as decimal separator.

To avoid all the problems created by the defective internationalization, launch Oleo from the command line with LANG=C /path/to/oleo
