Yes that helps as well. Thanks! Now I can compile octave-gui, but 
unfortunately it does not start. I get an error during startup. 
(Translated: Could not start application error 0xc000007b) I think that 
comes from the fact that I have compiled octave&dependencies with 
mingw&gcc4.5.2 but the precompiled Qt version is for Mingw&gcc4.4. I 
will try to build Qt from source. I will see how long this takes.
