D.2 Building the Development Sources
In addition to all the tools (both optional and required) that are listed in Build Dependencies you will need:
- Mercurial
- Distributed version control system (http://mercurial.selenic.com). Octave's sources are stored in a Mercurial archive.
- Git
- Distributed version control system (http://git-scm.com). The gnulib sources that Octave depends on are stored in a Git archive.
Once you have the required tools installed, you can build Octave by doing
- Check out a copy of the Octave sources:
hg clone http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave
- Change to the top-level directory of the newly checked out sources:
cd octave
- Generate the necessary configuration files:
./autogen.sh
- Create a build directory and change to it:
mkdir build
cd build
By using a separate build directory, you will keep the source directory clean and it will be easy to completely remove all files generated by the build. You can also have parallel build trees for different

I would like to make a patch to change this, but I haven't figured out what file has the source.
I someone would point me to the source file I will make a patch.
