You need to get the development sources and compile them. There is general information at those links:

http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/get-involved.html

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/tip/etc/HACKING

The classdef code is located in the classdef branch of octave repository. So after cloning the repository (with "hg clone..."), you need to switch to the classdef branch with "hg update classdef". After that you can follow the normal compilation procedure.

Hi,

I am developing a package for Octave to utilize the GPU for Computing. For it i need OOP. 

So my Question is "Does Octave have classdef functionality?" I could find some results on the net saying that parsing is available. But Octave on my computer doesnt seem to recognize it and gives error.

If classdef in not available, then is there development for it, can we expect it in future releases? 

It's not available yet, but is in development. You can give it a try by using the classdef branch of the octave hg repository.
