Follow-up Comment #2:

The specific macro is indeed not part of the autoconf-archive version on
Debian stable but is already present on Debian testing. Because this is only a
dependency for developers (and for the image package this is a much much
smaller number than Octave core), I didn't bother much with it. An option for
developers in older distros is to download the macro themselves:


cd octave-forge/image/src
wget -O aclocal.m4
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf-archive.git/plain/m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx_11.m4
cd ..
./bootstrap
cd src/
./configure


However, the macro is required since it sets up the flags required for the
build. Removing it is not an option.

I don't really understand why autoconf does not fail generating the configure
script since the AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11 macro is obviously not there. Would
be great if anyone has a fix for this.
