Update of bug #57529 (project octave):

                Category:                    None => Configuration and Build
System
                Priority:              5 - Normal => 3 - Low

Follow-up Comment #5:

This sounds like it is machine or OS specific.

A build machine for Octave which will produce a distributable tar.gz file is
expected to have basic prerequisites like QHull.

There is a test for that, but it is only tested if the user tries to make a
distribution using 'make dist'.  The code is in doc/libinterp/module.mk


# Prevent packaging of distribution unless all libraries
# necessary to create documentation are present
doc-interpreter-dist-hook:
        @$(GREP) '#define HAVE_COLAMD 1' $(top_builddir)/config.h > /dev/null 
|| {
echo "Documentation creation requires missing COLAMD library.  Cannot package
distribution!" ; exit 1; }
        @$(GREP) '#define HAVE_CHOLMOD 1' $(top_builddir)/config.h > /dev/null 
|| {
echo "Documentation creation requires missing CHOLMOD library.  Cannot package
distribution!" ; exit 1; }
        @$(GREP) '#define HAVE_UMFPACK 1' $(top_builddir)/config.h > /dev/null 
|| {
echo "Documentation creation requires missing UMFPACK library.  Cannot package
distribution!" ; exit 1; }
        @$(GREP) '#define HAVE_QHULL 1' $(top_builddir)/config.h > /dev/null || 
{
echo "Documentation creation requires missing QHULL library.  Cannot package
distribution!" ; exit 1; }
        @$(GREP) '#define HAVE_QT_OFFSCREEN 1' $(top_builddir)/config.h > 
/dev/null
|| { echo "Documentation creation requires Qt offscreen OpenGL rendering. 
Cannot package distribution!" ; exit 1; }


Perhaps we should move these tests in to configure somehow so that if the
required libraries are not available it acts as if "--disable-doc" was given.
