Thanks Rik for the explanation.
Probably, a Qt installation problem in my machine.

Closing as invalid. Sorry for the noise.

This works for me.

Did you configure with --disable-docs?

Do you have the required Qt tools to build Qt help collection files?

The qhc should be built in the doc/interpreter directory by 'make all'.  The fact that 'make dist' is failing is just a symptom of the earlier problem.

The Makefile section to look at is in doc/interpreter/module.mk


if AMCOND_BUILD_QT_DOCS

## The Qt help collection generator command produces two output files
## with the same base name.  Use a pattern rule so that GNU Make will
## only invoke the rule once to generate both files.

%.qhc %.qch : $(OCTAVE_HTML_STAMP) $(HTMLDIR_CSS) %reldir%/mk-qthelp.pl
        $(AM_V_GEN)rm -f $(OCTAVE_QTHELP_FILES) && \
        $(PERL) $(srcdir)/%reldir%/mk-qthelp.pl octave.html %reldir%/octave_interpreter && \
        $(QCOLLECTIONGENERATOR) $(QCOLLECTIONGENERATORFLAGS) %reldir%/octave_interpreter.qhcp -o %reldir%/octave_interpreter.qhc >/dev/null && \
        rm -f %reldir%/octave_interpreter.qhcp %reldir%/octave_interpreter.qhp

endif

When building stable branch, "make dist" fails:


Octave successfully built.  Now choose from the following:

   ./run-octave    - to run in place to test before installing
   make check      - to run the tests
   make install    - to install (PREFIX=/usr/local)

   HG ID for this build is "7f5008aec7a1"
