[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55447] mkoctfile: wrong LFLAGS warning, resets LDFLAGS

[Olaf Till]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #55447 (project octave):

I understand... but then, the warning message in

  // FIXME: Remove LFLAGS in Octave 7.0
  if (vars["LFLAGS"] != vars["LDFLAGS"])
    {
      std::cerr << "warning: LFLAGS is deprecated and will be removed in a
future version of Octave, use LDFLAGS instead" << std::endl;
      vars["LDFLAGS"] = vars["LFLAGS"];
    }

should be changed to something like:
"LDFLAGS is now used instead of the now deprecated LFLAGS. To avoid this
warning, set both to the same value."

Can I hope that DL_LDFLAGS won't be removed?

Having said this, I've doubts if the current usage of LDFLAGS in place of the
former LFLAGS is reasonable. Formerly, if I understand it correctly, LDFLAGS
contained the LDFLAGS with which Octave had been linked. This information is
not provided any more now at all.
