Compile and Install of the Octave Tool

This repository contains a make file for easy compile and install of Octave. Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with Matlab.
