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.
