After making octave you can run a script called "run-octave" to run 
octave, this seems to call another script (./src/octave), I am sure 
these scripts have a use of some sort.
To debug Eclipse CDT expects me to give it the name of c/c++ application 
file to run, it will then set gdb up as it needs to to give a lovely 
debugging UI.

You can't use gdb on shell scripts.
