I am amused by you logic :-) - specifically, by
"I'll find out that there are dependencies for building qhull when I build it"
.
Of course you will.
So, why not to be even more lazy and not to modify the above statement to
become:
"I'll find out that there are dependencies for building _octave_ when I build
it"
?
Since I've built more than 200 targets from source, I pretty damn well know what
chasing dependencies is.
That's why I've sent the full (except very thin layer of system libraries like
X*, standard "C" library, etc.) 'octave' dependency tree.

Sergei.
