Reza,
please post you reply below the original message, no on top.

Have you tested the gui after installation with "make install-strip" ?
On my build I see all the icons.

About documentation build, I presume you see fork failures when
"make" runs "run-octave". As workaround you can, in sequence :

1) make install-strip

2) on build_tree/doc/interpreter directory
    sed -e "s/\$(top_builddir)\/run-octave/octave-cli/g" Makefile > 
Makefile.mod

3) on the same directory
   make -f Makefile.mod

in this way you will use the installed octave-cli to build
the documentation instead of the debug version in the build tree.
This will reduce the risk of fork failures.
Eventually you will need to include the installed dll and oct files
in the rebaseall list with the option "-T"
