Yes, you are right, it is probaly a problem with my qt installation.

Sorry for the noise.

Closing as invalid.

It looks like something is very wrong with your configuration.

What is the UIC variable set to in octave-build/Makefile? If it's set to 'uic', then why does it look like it's running qcollectiongenerator instead of uic?

Things are getting worse...

I have deleted octave and octave-build directory, and used the script


hg clone http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave
cd octave
./bootstrap
cd ..
mkdir octave-build
cd octave-build
../octave/configure
make


I got:


  GEN      libgui/src/ui-settings-dialog.h
Reading collection config file...
Collection config file error: Unknown token at line 2. Expected "QtHelpCollectionProject".
make: *** [libgui/src/ui-settings-dialog.h] Error 255


Is it a Qt4/Qt5 problem?

This works for me. Did you configure Octave with --disable-docs? Did you see a warning message from the configure script that make dist will fail?

make dist fails in stable branch:


make[2]: Entering directory `/home/avinoam/octave-build'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `doc-interpreter-dist-hook', needed by `dist-hook'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/avinoam/octave-build'
