We try to keep build instructions up to date in the source tree. Please clone using [[Mercurial]] or download it to see the README. | |||
There are also instructions in the [http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Installation.html manual]. | |||
== Dependencies == | |||
Dependencies marked with <span style="background:lightgreen">green background</span> are '''required''' for building Octave. All other tools and libraries are recommended/optional, but very useful features (like the GUI, plotting, etc.) are likely to be disabled. | Dependencies marked with <span style="background:lightgreen">green background</span> are '''required''' for building Octave.
