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

Print help message.
Add include directory dir to compile commands.
Add include directory to second include search path after '-I'.
Add definition def to compiler command.
Add library lib to link command.
Add library directory dir to link command.
Pass -Rdir to link command.
Enable debugging option for all compilers.
Add -pthread to link command.
Pass flags to the compiler such as -Wa,OPTION.
Pass flags to the linker such as -Wl,-rpath=...
Generate dependency files (.d) for C and C++ source files.
Compile but do not link.
Link a stand-alone executable file.
Strip the output file.
Create a MEX file. Set the default output extension to .mex.
Output filename. Default extension is .oct (or .mex if --mex is specified) unless linking a stand-alone executable.
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.

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.
