[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41236] Configure fails to find Qt frameworks if not installed in system locations (patch provided)

[Michael C. Grant]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #41236 (project octave):

So I've determined that --enable-link-all-dependencies solves the issue with
libtool. Thus with a patch like this, and that flag set, the Qt build proceeds
automatically.

I don't know if y'all think it is OK for ./configure to forcibly enable this
flag in this particular scenario, but just in case you don't mind, I've
uploaded a new patch that does all that. This new patch uses --libs-only-other
per Jordi's suggestion, and it *only* overrides --enable-link-all-dependencies
if 1) you're on Darwin and 2) an -F flag was required to locate the Qt
framework.

In the process of testing this I found an error in src/Makefile.am, a
backslash was missing.

Anyway, patch2.diff has the goods.
