Octave - .m-File Compiler?

Question

I know that with Matlab it is possible to compile the scripts / functions as an executable which can then be a standalone version together with Matlab Compiler Runtime.

Is there any possible way to compile .m-files associated with octave as an executable program in a way that the .m-files aren't needed anymore for it to run?

I would like to a have a standalone version of the script (possibility together with octave libraries / dlls) without the necessity of the .m-Files.

Answer 1

I believe it is, see for example How do I create a simple Octave distributable without installing Octave , which references the relevant part of the documentation. However, I have never tried it, and it doesn't appear to be that straightforward (at first impression at least).
