[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49503] [mxe-octave] cross-building packages with configure script calling octave itself have issues

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #26, bug #49503 (project octave):

The attached patch should be complete with the logic to use or not use the
build-octave package.

@Kai: If we should opt to include that change, you could configure MXE Octave
with "--disable-system-octave" and your buildbots should be able to build the
binary of-packages correctly.
All others could just configure like before and nothing would change for
them.

I don't think it is necessary to include any logic that overrides that option
in case the "hg-octave-dist" target was build. That is a separate target that
afaict is not pulled in by any other target. If someone builds that target,
they should take care to *not* configure with "--disable-system-octave".
