NAME
mkoctfile - Compile dynamic-load modules for GNU Octave

SYNOPSIS

    Add include directory to second include search path after '-I'.

-Ddef
    Add definition def to compiler command.

-llib
    Add library lib to link command.

-Ldir
    Add library directory dir to link command.

-Rdir
    Pass -Rdir to link command.

-g  Enable debugging option for all compilers.

-pthread
    Add -pthread to link command.

-W...
    Pass flags to the compiler such as -Wa,OPTION.

-Wl,...
    Pass flags to the linker such as -Wl,-rpath=...
