For a comprehensive list of configuration options with a short explanation, type <code>./configure --help</code>.
On some older systems, it might be useful to consider adding the options <code>--disable-docs --disable-system-opengl --disable-system-x11-libs --disable-java</code> in case of building errors.


==== Build ====
==== Build ====


<code>make -j3 JOBS=2 all openblas</code> Adapt the values of the variables <code>-j</code> (parallel package builds) and <code>JOBS</code> (parallel build jobs) to your needs.
<code>make all openblas JOBS=4</code> (adapt the value of the variable <code>JOBS</code> to your needs).

=== Known issues ===
=== Note for gnuplot ===
 
==== gnuplot ====


The gnuplot built by MXE-Octave does not support cairo based terminals and lua/tikz terminals.
The gnuplot built by mxe-octave does not support cairo based terminals and lua/tikz terminals.
If you want uses those features, prepare gnuplot with those features and type in the Octave command prompt
If you want uses those feature, prepare gnuplot with those features and points its location setting to
"gnuplot_binary" like


   >> gnuplot_binary /usr/bin/gnuplot
   >> gnuplot_binary /usr/bin/gnuplot
==== Build errors on older systems ====
On some older systems, it might be useful to consider adding the configuration options
* <code>--disable-docs</code>
* <code>--disable-java</code>
in case of building errors.
