[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61668] [octave-forge] (gsl) configure tests fail because main is defined with no return type

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug#61668 (group octave):

If I understand the configure script correctly, it tries to execute that
command and catch its output in a shell variable.
But, looking at your config.log, that shell variable seems to be empty.
Does the following work in a shell?

octave_include_dir=`/usr/bin/arch -arch arm64 /opt/local/bin/octave-8.4.0 -qf
--eval "disp(__octave_config_info__('octincludedir'))"`
echo $octave_include_dir


That is a stripped down version of the actual command that the configure
script runs. The actual command is closer to this:

octave_include_dir=`/usr/bin/arch -arch arm64 /opt/local/bin/octave-8.4.0 -qf
--eval "if exist ('__octave_config_info__') disp  (__octave_config_info__
('octincludedir')) else disp  (octave_config_info ('octincludedir')) end"`
echo $octave_include_dir


Does that also work?
