Follow-up Comment #3, bug #38489 (project octave):

There are two issues here.  We should export __have_feature__.m in module.mk. 
I pushed a changeset here
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/b1b01c69967e) that does that.

The second is that your call to generate the images is wrong.  It should be a
call to 'run-octave', not octave itself.  If you use run-octave then it will
correctly set the path to include the scripts in the source code directory. 
If you call just "octave" then the shell will probably find an installed
version of octave which knows nothing about what you have in any build
directory--only what you have actually installed.

As a test, find the file plot.pdf which should be in
<octave_base_dir>/doc/interpreter.  Delete this file.  From the build
directory (which might be the same as <octave_base_dir>)
<octave_build_dir>/doc/interpreter, try 'make plot.pdf | tee mkplot.log'

The first lines of mkplot.log for me are:


./config-images.sh ../..
../../doc/interpreter/images.mk is unchanged
../../run-octave -f -q -H -p . --eval "plotimages ('plot', 'pdf');"


which shows using the local run-octave script.
