[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48678] mkoctfile returns linker flags on LFLAGS instead of LDFLAGS

[Carnë Draug]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #48678 (project octave):

That explains the large set of flags.  I never quite understood why we had so
many and why they looked kind of redundant.

I thought the purpose of mkoctfile was to build oct files and that therefore
"-p" would be the flags that mkoctfile uses. Because mkoctfile should not
ignore user environment variables, in my view that includes the flags required
by Octave plus whatever the user has set in the environment if any.

If a user would want to get only the flags that Octave requires (instead of
the flags that mkoctfile will use), then it should use octave-config (which I
now realize doesn't really have any flags and is not an Octave specific
version of pkg-config).
