[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53920] mkoctfile tries to link with /scratch/build/.../libiconv.dll.a

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #53920 (project octave):

I couldn't see any way to get the configure code from gnulib to work
differently, or to override its behavior using cache variables.  So for now I
pushed this change to stable and merged with default.  Is this enough to fix
the problem reported here?

I haven't finished and tested a new build yet, but it appears that
mkoctfile.cc does now have -liconv substituted instead of
/path/to/libiconv.dll.a, so I think it should work.

A separate issue that I didn't fix yet is variables in mkoctfile have -LDIR
variables that are from the build system but are not transformed to be correct
for the location where Octave is ultimately installed.  However, I think GCC
will find all the libraries and header files that are needed, even with these
incorrect -L options.  However, it would be nice to remove duplicates and
transform them based on the value of OCTAVE_HOME.
