  Thanks for this patch John. With this, I was now able to build a Windows 

  dist-zip sucessfully "from scratch" with mxe-octave. And the resulting

  Windows executable even runs fine (on my very first glance at least)   :)

Note that you have build stable version of Octave.

The default version, built with

 

configure --enable-octave=default

make nsis-installer

 

cannot be built now, due to https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45578 and

https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45588
