[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41236] Configure fails to find Qt frameworks if not installed in system locations (patch provided)

[Michael C. Grant]

Follow-up Comment #15, bug #41236 (project octave):

That's great to hear, thanks. Sorry again for the regression.

Here's what this fix does: first, it looks for a standard library set (-L/-l)
using the old approach. If it finds none, *and* we're running Mac OS, then it
looks for a framework set (-F/-framework). If *that* succeeds, and at least
one '-F' flag is present, then it enables "link-all-deps" to ensure that the
final linking steps get that -F flag.

In comment 3, I was using a "+=" approach to combine any library and framework
flags together. That's probably fine; however, it seems clear that with Qt
you're going to have *either* a framework set or a library set, and not both.
Indeed, if you had both, there is likely to be a conflict. So going with an
exclusive or seems best.
