I have not been able to do an mxe-octave build that works properly in windows, but other developers have.
So I decided to start with a fresh clone and see what happens.
ubuntu 15.10
autoconf
./configure --enable-devel-tools --enable-windows-64 --enable-octave=default --enable-binary-packages
make nsis-installer JOBS=3
ended with the following:
[build] of-general
[done] of-general
[download] of-io
[build] of-io
[done] of-io
[download] of-optim
[build] of-optim
Failed to build package of-optim!
------------------------------------------------------------

What should I do now?
