I hope it is ok if I chime in.

MXE Octave might have patches for some of these build errors.

octave-ltfat:
https://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/file/tip/src/of-ltfat-2-LDFLAGS.patch
https://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/file/tip/src/of-ltfat-3-no-cxx11.patch

octave-sparsersb:
https://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/file/tip/src/of-sparsersb-2-no-cxx11.patch

octave-stk:
The error on exit is probably this known (unresolved) issue: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?66471

biosig:
If I understand correctly, the error occurs while trying to build the Python bindings. I don't know how to solve that. MXE Octave doesn't build the Python bindings. The remainder seems to be building correctly.


I hope that helps.

Best,
Markus
