I did a build on windows over cygwin. Documentation building was not

some missing includes? Another problem was the hangup after a while,
without interacting with the gui. But I didn't tested this out further.

I'm not a Windows user, but I'll ask some questions to help answer whether this is a bug (probably is, would be my first impression). Under "libgui/src/icons" of the source tree are a bunch of icons used in the GUI/IDE.  I assume those are present in your source tree.  Please verify it is those icons that are not appearing in the browser as you see it.  If so there is a bug.  If they are visible and it is some other Qt standard icons that are not visible, then that might be another issue involving some support libraries not installed.

I wonder if the icons are being put in a proper directory when "install" is done.  In any case, try launching the GUI using "run-octave", if that is possible on Windows.  Try launching the GUI from the directory "libgui/src/icons", i.e., where the icons exist.  If there are any error messages somewhere, please report those.

    Unless you are able to build on Windows, probably too early.  If you

GUI shows up, but still no icons when I start up in the folder libgui/src/icons (the icons are there). Also you cannot close the program, but this is probably also due to missing icons. calculations are possible in the terminal, also opening files and examining variables and history.
