[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48443] Incompatibility between 4.1.0+ and image package

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #48443 (project octave):

That is correct, you can't install packages without doing 'make install'
first. This is known and intentionally caught, when for example the mkoctfile
program is not in the bin directory where it is supposed to be.

You might be able to work out which CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to add such that all
the proper header files and shared libraries distributed throughout Octave's
source and build directories are found. Seems like more trouble than it's
worth, but if someone thinks this is important they could work on adding
support for this.

There is also currently no way to change the version suffix without editing
configure.ac to add a suffix yourself or something like that.

Setting a specific --prefix=/some/path/with/specific/version/and/hgid is
always possible.
