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?

Meanwhile I switched to the native source of Octave, I did:

cd ~
mkdir hg
cd hg 
hg clone https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave
cd ~/hg/octave

Display branches:

hg branches

Change branche from default → stable

hg update stable

./bootstrap

mkdir ~/builds/Native_octave_stable
cd ~/builds/Native_octave_stable

~/hg/octave/configure

make -j8 

Error is the same. Any ideas? (I work on Ubuntu 20.04)

The solution for my issue is included in an old post from Mike Miller:

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48881

The troublemaker was my user PATH variable, it contained entries for "miniconda3", I fixed by a command

similar to this one:

export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:

The "octave-6.0.1.tar.lz" is now ready for use :-)

Stefan
