NAME

mkoctfile - Compile dynamic-load modules for GNU Octave

SYNOPSIS

mkoctfile [-IDIR] [-DDEF]  [-lLIB]  [-LDIR]  [-M|--depend]
[-c]  [-o  FILE|--output  FILE] [-p VAR|--print VAR] [-s|--strip]
[-v|--verbose] [-h|-?|--help] file ...

DESCRIPTION

mkoctfile is used to compile source C, C++ or Fortran

source code in dynamically loadable .oct file for octave(1).

OPTIONS

mkoctfile accepts the following options:

-IDIR Add include directory DIR to compile commands.

-DDEF Add definition DEF to compiler call.

-lLIB Add library LIB to link command.

-LDIR Add library directory DIR to link command.

-M|--depend

Generate dependency files (.d) for C and C++

source files.

-c Compile but do not link.

-o FILE|--output FILE

Output file name; default extension is .oct (or

.mex if --mex is specified) unless linking a stand-alone exe

cutable.

-p VAR|--print VAR

Print configuration variable VAR. Recognized

variables are:

ALL_CFLAGS FFTW_LIBS
ALL_CXXFLAGS FLIBS
ALL_FFLAGS FPICFLAG
ALL_LDFLAGS INCFLAGS
BLAS_LIBS LDFLAGS
CC LD_CXX
CFLAGS LD_STATIC_FLAG
CPICFLAG LFLAGS
CPPFLAGS LIBCRUFT
CXX LIBOCTAVE
CXXFLAGS LIBOCTINTERP
CXXPICFLAG LIBREADLINE
DEPEND_EXTRA_SED_PATTERN LIBS
DEPEND_FLAGS OCTAVE_LIBS
DL_LD RDYNAMIC_FLAG
DL_LDFLAGS RLD_FLAG
F2C SED
F2CFLAGS XTRA_CFLAGS
F77 XTRA_CXXFLAGS
FFLAGS

--link-stand-alone

Link a stand-alone executable file.

--mex Assume we are creating a MEX file. Set the de

fault output extension to .mex.

-s|--strip

Strip the output file.

-v|--verbose

Echo commands as they are executed.

file Compile or link file. Recognised file types are

.c C source
.cc C++ source
.C C++ source
.cpp C++ source
.f Fortran source
.F Fortran source
.o object file
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR octave (1).
