| Hi,
| 
| I've adjusted display.cc and I'd like to introduce the m4 macro 
| "OCTAVE_HAVE_FRAMEWORK". This script allows me to check for the compiler 
option 
| "-framework NAME" and take further arguments $2 and $3 as file prologue and 
file 
| body if some deeper tests should be performed. However, here is my output 
from 
| the ./configure run
| 
|    checking whether ld accepts -framework Carbon... yes
|    configure: adding -Wl,-framework -Wl,Carbon to LDFLAGS
| 
| Compilation is successful and I also checked if the part 
HAVE_FRAMEWORK_CARBON 
| in display.cc is compiled (and not the X11 part). The output before was
| 
|    bash$ octave --quiet --eval 'get (0, "ScreenSize")'
|    ans = 0   0   0   0
| 
| The correct new output is
| 
|    bash$ octave --quiet --eval 'get (0, "ScreenSize")'
|    ans = 1      1   1680   1050
| 
| Ben can you please check if this works on your 10.5 system? If it works, can 
it 
| be included into the sources? Thanks,

I applied this patch with a few small changes.

Thanks,
