It works for me with the Octave dev version (Octave-4.3.0+), but maybe for
4.2.1 it is different (although I doubt it). Oh and on Win10 it may also be
different - I tested on Windows 7.

Did you try to uninstall Octave and reinstall it? From the log, where it
says "checking whether the C++ compiler works... no" it looks like the build
tools have malfunctions.
