I am trying to install Vlfeat support for octave in Ubuntu 14.04. I am following the instructions at the following link: http://www.vlfeat.org/install-octave.html . However when I run the command
MKOCTFILE=mkoctfile makeI get the following error:
Detected compiler: gcc 40800

I happen to manage to get over this. But I don't know which steps really contributes. Here are my experiences.
"mkoctfile" is in octave-pkg-dev or liboctave-dev. I don't know which one it is in. I apt-get installed them both.
Then I commented include make/doc.mak (about line 324 in Makefile). It avoids some pdftex errors. (but later on vl_help won't work.)
Then I use make MEX=YOUR/PATH/TO/MATLAB/bin/mex MKOCTFILE=mkoctfile to make. Because make/octave.mak depends on some matlab makefile (matlab-noprefix in specific), I guess matlab mex is required somehow.
Now it seems ok except libvl.so may failed to load. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/YOUR/PATH/vlfeat/toolbox/mex/octave/mexa64/ and then run octave solves this temporarily.
