Tue 03 Dec 2024 09:32:50 PM UTC, original submission:

After setting up mxe-octave, configured for default-octave, and typing 'make nsis-installer', the following warning was emitted:

[check requirements]
Warning - could not find native build version 10.0.0 of Octave - some packages may fail, but continuing
:

which in my case is wrong as native Octave-10.0.0 is installed but the symlink in /usr/local/bin/octave points to octave-9.2.1 (which is also installed).
Replacing that symlink with one that points to octave-10.0.0 and wiping check-requirements in <mxe-octave>/installed-packages silences the warning.
I suppose somewhere in the Makefile or so the check for Octave should explicitly include the release number, rather than assume the symlink in /usr/local/bin/octave to point to the proper Octave release file.

("Operating system" set to 'Linux' as that's where this happens)
