The windows version of octave is cross-compiled from linux, i.e. built 
on a Linux computer. I think you will find it challenging to do a native 
build to say the least. The standard way to build the windows version is 
to use mxe-octave, info here:

https://wiki.octave.org/Windows_Installer

You might be able to do this on Windows 10 if you install the linux 
subsystem for Linux and and build it in that environment. Never tried 
this, and have no idea if it works.
