NAME
       mkoctfile - Compile dynamic-load modules for GNU Octave

SYNOPSIS
       mkoctfile [OPTION]... file...

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

OPTIONS
       -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.

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

       -p VAR, --print VAR
               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 as above, but currently unused
               by mkoctfile.

               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.
