mkoctfile - Compile dynamic-load modules for GNU Octave

       John W. Eaton <jwe@octave.org>

       This manual page  was  contributed  by  Dirk  Eddelbuettel  <edd@debian.org>  for  the  Debian  GNU/Linux
       distribution but may be used by others.

mkoctfile  is  used  to compile C, C++, or Fortran source code in to a dynamically loadable .oct file for
       octave(1).

-h, -?, --help
               Print help message.

       -Idir   Add include directory dir to compile commands.

       -idirafterdir
               Add include directory to second include search path after '-I'.

       -Ddef   Add definition def to compiler command.

       -llib   Add library lib to link command.

       -Ldir   Add library directory dir to link command.

       -Rdir   Pass -Rdir to link command.

       -g      Enable debugging option for all compilers.

       -pthread
               Add -pthread to link command.

       -W...   Pass flags to the compiler such as -Wa,OPTION.

       -Wl,... Pass flags to the linker such as -Wl,-rpath=...-M, --depend
               Generate dependency files (.d) for C and C++ source files.

       -c      Compile but do not link.

       --link-stand-alone
               Link a stand-alone executable file.

       -s, --strip
               Strip the output file.

       --mex   Create a MEX file.  Set the default output extension to .mex.

       -ofile, --outputfile
               Output filename.  Default extension is .oct (or .mex if --mex  is  specified)  unless  linking  a
               stand-alone executable.

       -pVAR, --printVAR
               Print configuration variable VAR.  There are three categories of variables:

               Octave  configuration  variables  that  users may override with environment variables.  These are
               used in commands that mkoctfile executes.

               Octave configuration variables that are provided for informational  purposes  only.   Except  for
               OCTAVE_HOME and OCTAVE_EXEC_HOME, users may not override these variables.

               If  OCTAVE_HOME or OCTAVE_EXEC_HOME are set in the environment, then other variables are adjusted
               accordingly with OCTAVE_HOME or OCTAVE_EXEC_HOME  substituted  for  the  original  value  of  the
               directory  specified  by  the  --prefix  or  --exec-prefix options that were used when Octave was
               configured.
