I'm trying to compile GNU Octave and its new Qt GUI on a Mac OSX with Homebrew. Homebrew installs the Qt frameworks in /usr/local/Cellar/qt/4.8.5/lib, so after some fiddling with the configure script I get this:
QT_LDFLAGS=-F/usr/local/Cellar/qt/4.8.5/lib QT_LIBS=-framework QtCore -framework QtGui -framework QtNetwork However, the libtool script does not handle the -F argument through properly, so it is stripped out of the linking process. I created the following patch for the generated libtool script, which causes libtool to treat -F exactly like it treats -L. This seems to do the trick. I did notice that scanning through past discussions that this has come up a couple of times, but there is reluctance to provide full support for -F for some reason. Perhaps the relative simplicity of this patch would convince you to reconsider. I'm also discussing this with the Homebrew folks to see if they would consider including in their formula, but they do prefer not to use patches if they can help it. Regards, Michael
