mmmh ... this looks more complicated that expected, I tried building without QT 
and get a failure when building the docs:

error: __gnuplot_get_var__: Can not make FIFO (Function not implemented)
error: __gnuplot_get_var__: Can not make FIFO (Function not implemented)
error: __gnuplot_get_var__: Can not make FIFO (Function not implemented)

make[2]: *** [doc/interpreter/voronoi.eps] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2


it seems this is related to the fact that in recent revisions :

>> [err, msg] = mkfifo ("/tmp/pippo.fifo", 600);
>> err
err = -1
>> msg
msg = Function not implemented

while in Octave 4.4

>> [err, msg] = mkfifo ("/tmp/pippo.fifo", 600);
>> err
err = 0
>> msg
msg = 

Any idea what may have broken makefifo?
