Follow-up Comment #3:

First off, I'm not a Mac user, but I understand that -framework is Apple's way
of linking libraries, that's fine.

Wouldn't something like BLAS, or vecLib in this case, already be known to
Octave so it should already be linked in as an implicit link dependency of all
future calls to mkoctfile? What's the interaction between linking Octave with
vecLib, using the link-all-deps option, and using mkoctfile to build
oct-files?

What Octave Forge packages rely on passing "-framework vecLib" to mkoctfile to
install? Or is this added to the build as a Mac packaging thing?

Or are you just using vecLib as an example, but maybe a user would be building
an oct-file and linking with some *other* framework that Octave doesn't know
about?

Just trying to understand the actual use case that results in this bug. For
example, if I had to somehow pass -lblas to a pkg install command on Linux, I
would consider that a bug in the build system for oct-files and packages. The
mkoctfile command should automatically link in all dependency libraries (or
frameworks) that Octave was built with.
