GNU Octave is primarily developed on GNU/Linux and other POSIX conformal systems. There have been many efforts in the past to build ports of GNU Octave for Windows. Take a look at the various ports of Octave available for Windows here.

Recently some work has been done in maintaining a unified build system mxe-octave (a fork of MXE) which anyone can use to produce cross as well as native build of GNU Octave for Windows and Mac OS X platforms.

Steps to create Windows Installer

  1. Install all requirements for compiling GNU Octave. (Some help for Debian users)
  2. hg clone http://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/
  3. cd mxe-octave
  4. autoconf
  5. ./configure
  6. ./mk-dist --installer
