Thank you for your fast response! Thanks Markus for the clarification
regarding the optional
separate pkg-directory. In fact I was indoubt after the problems I face, if
I need to have separate
pkg-directory for the different versions (default, stable, release).
And I understood one error I made, I just downloaded the file an copied it
into the pkg-folder,
but had not taken care to rename the file that I had downloaded from
"mexbiosig-2.0.4.src.tar.gz" --> "biosig-2.0.4.src.tar.gz"
(http://biosig.sourceforge.net/download.html).

Is there anyone who succeeded building an octave-stable during the last
week?
I have now tried to compile it for more than a week, for at least 7 times.
I tried both, new clone and removal of the old make folder and update clone
and clean
make folder.
It always stops after or during the compilation of "libbiosig", attached
you can find the log-file.

Here is what I do:
1.) clone repository or update

hg clone https://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave

or

hg -v pullhg -v update

2.) build ./configure

./bootstrap


3.) Clean Build Directory, if makefile exist inside the build-folder

make clean


4.) Generate Makefile inside of build directory

/home/mylogin/hg/mxe-octave/configure --enable-devel-tools
\--enable-windows-64 \--enable-octave=stable \--enable-binary-packages
\--with-ccache \--with-pkg-dir=/home/mylogin/builds/octave_pkg

4.) Compile Octave-stable inside the build directory

make all 7z-dist JOBS=4 --trace --keep-going

Any recommendations?

Stefan
