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.

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.
