After some proceed, I have met the following:
 
:
[download] fontconfig
[build]    fontconfig
[done]     fontconfig
make: *** No rule to make target
`/e/usr/Tatsu/mingw32work/octave/mxe-octave/mxe-octave/installed-packages/bu
ild-gcc', needed by
`/e/usr/Tatsu/mingw32work/octave/mxe-octave/mxe-octave/installed-packages/gh
ostscript'.  Stop.

I do not find any 'ghostscript' in
/e/usr/Tatsu/mingw32work/octave/mxe-octave/mxe-octave/installed-packages.

Any suggestions?

Yeah - ghostscript is a new package - I haven’t gotten it to compile
natively yet.

1) change the ghostscript.mk file to not have build-gcc as a dependency, and
add:
ifeq ($(USE_SYSTEM_GCC),no)
    $(PKG)_DEPS     += build-gcc
Endif

2) touch installed-packages/ghostscript

3) You will need a version of ghostscript installed on your computer and
include the pathtoghostscript/bin in your path.
