"duplicate -bundle_loader option" when doing pkg install statistics

[apjanke]

In Octave.app 8.4.0 alpha3 on macOS 14.3 on angharad:

(Screencap because I can't get text copy/paste from the Command Window to work here.)

Same-looking behavior in octave --gui 8.4.0 installed via Homebrew on the same machine, angharad.

I was able to copy-paste the text from the Command Window by right-clicking the selected text and choosing "Copy" from the context menu instead of doing Cmd-C or doing Edit > Copy from the main menu bar. (Well, once. This is from a previous slightly different attempt using -forge instead of the URL. In my next attempt with the URL, I couldn't make text selection happen Oh well.)

Could you please run diary ("octave_config_info.log"); __octave_config_info__, diary ("off"); and upload the created file here?
It would be interesting to see which flags are adding that duplicate option.

Additionally, if you have access to the build system, could you please upload the file src/mkoctfile.cc that is generated in the build tree?

[apjanke]

Sorry for the delay; GitHub notification email got swamped in my inbox...

Here's the output from that same computer, angharad, on a brewed Octave 8.4.0.

octave_config_info-angharad-8.4.0-brewed.log

I see this:

[~] $ grep -- -bundle_loader octave_config_info-angharad-8.4.0-brewed.log
        DL_LDFLAGS = -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -bind_at_load -bundle_loader /src/octave -F/usr/local/opt/qt@5/lib
        MKOCTFILE_DL_LDFLAGS = -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -bind_at_load -bundle_loader /usr/local/Cellar/octave/8.4.0_3/bin/octave-8.4.0
[~] $

Doesn't seem apparent to me where the duplication is happening. Unless some build things are using both $DL_LDFLAGS and $MKOCTFILE_DL_LDFLAGS for the same build action? The path in the second one there matches the "ignored" path in the error message, which maybe makes sense if it's using both of these and sees the path argument to -bundle_loader differs between them?

Additionally, if you have access to the build system, could you please upload the file src/mkoctfile.cc that is generated in the build tree?

I have access to the build system, but I'm doing everything through Homebrew, so the build tree is not retained. I'll have to set up a different build process to get that. Sorry. I think I can do that by using the brew command's debug options to drop in to a debugging shell during the build process before it does cleanup? Will have to look through the options there.

Is there an easy way for me to grab the build logs from a pkg install -forge statistics operation and give you those too?
