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 executable.

-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

--mex

Assume we are creating a MEX file. Set the default 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
.a library file
