Of course.
It wasn't obvious to me from what other subdir I should run make.

I suppose ~/mxe-octave/tmp-qt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.3 ?
(just tried - see below)

No, but after checking I'll rather set it to:
/home/Philip/mxe-octave/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig


(Hmmmm just tried the above - I still get:

:
cd mng/ && make -f Makefile

 From where should I start over?

Thanks,

Check that mng was installed - installed-packages/libmng, and if it was:
export /home/Philip/mxe-octave/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig 
make

(in the /home/Philip/mxe-octave) folder and see what happens.

Also, just for info, I created a script in tools/set_mxe_env.sh you can run
as source tools/set_mxe_env.sh, that sets all the bin/lib/config paths that
may help.
I created it for compiling the octave_hg versions of code in mingw after
having a working mxe-octave.
It isn't much use for anything except for native mingw builds.
