Hi,

recently there was a thread on the Octave Forge list, starting with

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=6379301E-96D0-4AEF-BEEF-3DE7DD81A31F%40gmail.com&forum_name=octave-dev

continued on the Octave maintainers list, starting with

https://mailman.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/octave-maintainers/2012-June/028555.html

due to installation of a package depending on Lapack failing on Apple
with a default Octave configuration. The reason is that mkoctfile does
not understand the -framework switch.

One conclusion was that passing the respective variables in
environment variables to mkoctfile could solve this problem.

I've made this change to optim/src/Makefile and recommend similar
changes for all packages affected by this or a similar
problem. Example:

MKOCTFILE ?= mkoctfile
LAPACK_LIBS := $(shell $(MKOCTFILE) -p LAPACK_LIBS)
BLAS_LIBS := $(shell $(MKOCTFILE) -p BLAS_LIBS)
LFLAGS := $(shell $(MKOCTFILE) -p LFLAGS) $(LAPACK_LIBS) $(BLAS_LIBS)
export LFLAGS

or instead of the last line you could use a rule like

%.oct: %.cc
        LFLAGS="$(LFLAGS)" $(MKOCTFILE) -s $<

I could take a look at other Makefiles, if necessary (list taken from
Marcos post: control, linear-algebra, octgpr, odepkg, optiminterp).

Olaf
