My understanding is that building the gui part is independent of the rest of 
Octave.

The makefile in gui/src is generated by qmake, not by ./configure.

The qmake process calls octave-config to figure out these things. You can get 
an idea of what is done by looking at gui/src/src.pro.

My CXXFLAGS in gui/src/Makefile is below. 

CXXFLAGS = -pipe -I/opt/local/include/octave-3.6.0-rc1/octave/.. 
-I/opt/local/include/octave-3.6.0-rc1/octave -g -gdwarf-2 -Wall -W $(DEFINES)

This is pointing at to the last Octave I installed.

If I understand correctly, to run the latest sources using the gui (1) build 
octave, (2) install octave (which installs octave-config as well), and then (3) 
build the gui.
