MKOCTFILE(1) General Commands Manual MKOCTFILE(1) 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.

AR DEPEND_EXTRA_SED_PATTERN DEPEND_FLAGS FFTW3F_LDFLAGS FFTW3F_LIBS FFTW3_LDFLAGS FFTW3_LIBS FFTW_LIBS FLIBS LIBS RANLIB READLINE_LIBS 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.
