Details:

Cross compiling the mxe-octave of-ltfat package for Windows fails with the
following error message:


checking for mkoctfile... no
configure: error: Please install mkoctfile.
-verbose
ltfat-2.3.1.tar.gz
mkoctfile= /scratch/build/mxe-octave-w32/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-mkoctfile
--verbose
arch= i686-w64-mingw32
apiversion= api-v52+
prefix= /scratch/build/mxe-octave-w32/usr/i686-w64-mingw32
files= ['ltfat-2.3.1.tar.gz']
verbose= True
running ./configure --host='i686-w64-mingw32' --build='x86_64-pc-linux-gnu'
cleaning up


The test in configure.ac is:


dnl Check for MKOCTFILE
AC_CHECK_PROG(MKOCTFILE_CHECK,mkoctfile,"yes")
if test "$MKOCTFILE_CHECK" != "yes" ; then
    AC_MSG_ERROR([Please install mkoctfile.])
fi


Why is the variable here MKOCTFILE_CHECK instead of MKOCTFILE?  If it were
MKOCTFILE instead, then this test would find the value of MKOCTFILE that is
set in the environment by the mxe-octave build system when the package is
configured.
