[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48215] MacOS: mkoctfile linker error - configure.ac produces wrong MKOCTFILE_DL_LDFLAGS (PATCH)

[Friedrich Beckmann]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #48215 (project octave):

Looking at the mentioned patch, all variables which use "version" will expand
to zero if they are set before line 8.156. Therefore 8.50, 8.51 and 8.52
should not work. SHLEXT_VER will yield "so.", because version is not set at
that point.

Mike questioned that these variable are useful at all because they are maybe
not be used. I cannot judge that. But from my perspective the mentioned
change

 http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/1aa293d58df0 

is not correct for the variables SHLEXT_VER, SHLLIB_VER and SHLBIN_VER. 

The variables

DL_LDFLAGS
MKOCTFILE_DL_LDFLAGS

do not work for the MacOS case which was not considered in the patch. For the
MacOS case they use the "version" variable and the "top_builddir" or "bindir"
variable. The setting itself is o.k., i.e. when this is fully expanded, then
it works for me in macports.
