If you are using Ubuntu, I would recommend starting with

   apt build-dep octave

jwe

Thanks John! - This was not sufficient for me, it was necessary to edit "/etc/apt/sources.list" and to uncomment

the following line:

deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal universe

(found on: https://techpiezo.com/linux/install-vlc-in-ubuntu-20-04-lts/ )

So here my status.

After I have added "deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal universe" in my "/etc/apt/sources.list"

it was possible to perform: "sudo apt build-dep octave", it installed 104 packages.

Then I have run "./bootstrap" & "./config ... ..." then

"nice -n 19 make JOBS=8 hg-octave-dist hg-octave-branch=stable"

It informed me about the missing "octave-6.0.1.tar.lz".

I repeated the "nice [...]"command once more.

To get rid of this message I tried a command I found on the page mentioned by Markus, but I modified the command.

"make dist-lzip DIST_IGNORE_HG_STATE=1"

failed, there is no rule for "dist-lzip".

"make dist DIST_IGNORE_HG_STATE=1" worked fine.

I copied the "mxe-octave-a65cacd05892.tar.gz" into my build directory.

And tried again, now I see: "Unknown option 'qt5'"

Any ideas?
