Details:

I have tried to compile the current "stable" branch of the Octave repository
(hg id 53440f9bffba) on a Ubuntu 14.04 computer.  

I get the following compiler error during "make":


  CXX      libgui/src/libgui_src_libgui_src_la-documentation.lo
libgui/src/documentation.cc: In destructor ‘virtual
octave::documentation::~documentation()’:
libgui/src/documentation.cc:204:20: error: ‘class QDir’ has no member
named ‘removeRecursively’
             tmpdir.removeRecursively ();
                    ^
Makefile:16967: die Regel für Ziel
„libgui/src/libgui_src_libgui_src_la-documentation.lo“ scheiterte
make[2]: *** [libgui/src/libgui_src_libgui_src_la-documentation.lo] Fehler 1


Compiling worked fine with a couple of older Octave versions, e.g. the 4.2.2
release.

I am still using Qt4 libraries. I ran bootstrap and configure without any
options.

Let me know which other information you need to hunt this down.
