For what it's worth, this package seems to work for me (though others
are having grave troubles).

Just run 'make' in the 'src' directory. Testing is, however, a bit more
tedious as the 'symbolic' package uses PKG_ADD to ensure that 'autoload'
gets called in the right way. I don't have any great tricks here.

Which makefile is that? I haven't noticed such behaviour of the one in
the 'src' directory.

I'm a crappy programmer so I usually don't bother with debug symbols; I
just use good ol' printf...
Things are straight-forward when packages don't use PKG_ADD files, as
you can just start Octave in the 'src' directory and run 'make' when
you've changed the C++ files. With PKG_ADD files, I don't really have
any good tricks :-(
