Re: Compiling octave with MSVC

[John W. Eaton]

What problem is solved by this change?

-    DLD_PICOBJ := $(DLD_OBJ)
+    ifdef XTRA_CXXDEFS
+      DLD_PICOBJ := $(addprefix oct/, $(DLD_OBJ))
+    else
+      DLD_PICOBJ := $(DLD_OBJ)
+    endif

Also, why bother checking to see if XTRA_CXXDEFS is defined when it
seems that it is now unconditionally defined earlier in the Makefile?

Why is -D_USE_MATH_DEFINES unconditionally added to XTRA_CDEFS and
XTRA_CXXDEFS in liboctave/Makefile.in?  What problem does that solve?
