Rik:  Thanks for fixing this.  Sorry I was a bit sloppy with the earlier changesets.

I checked in this cset (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/43056b877047) which appears to fix the problem.

I'm marking as "Ready for Test" and will leave open until jwe has had a chance to review.  It appears to me that there are still some additional changes which should be made.  The shell variables in mk-default-qt-settings.in.sh are not protected with quoting against odd characters such as spaces.  If someone sets their default font to "Times New Roman" then generation will fail.

The problem was introduced in cset 21398:7e8a410e6124, "break generated file dependence on Makefile (bug #46063)".  I'm looking now to see if it was something obvious, but have CC'ed the author of that changeset.

During building, the message "GEN    libgui/default-qt-settings" is displayed but the file libgui/default-qt-settings is not being created anywhere in the build process. The only related file is libgui/default-qt-settings.in. This causes "make install" to fail with the error below.

GNU Make 3.81.
