[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54260] mkoctfile doesn't export some Octave features that packages need at build time

[John Donoghue]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #54260 (project octave):

LOCALVERFCNFILEDIR, LOCALVEROCTFILEDIR, LOCALVERARCHLIBDIR are artifacts of
the old configure/make file that felt the need to show where things were
gooing to be installed, but arent needed.


gsl is doing a temporaty set of CPPFLAGS=-I so that the configure's
AC_CHECK_HEADER will work


just out of interest, what is/was the intent of octave-config? or is that tool
going to disappear over time ? 

or do some things that are direct build settings need be in mkoctfile, others
that are more of just how octave was configured?

Perhaps there needs to also be more spearation between octave-config and
mkoctfile ?


My vote at the very least is not to use octave for compile options
