In addition to the sources there is a binary installer for Windows.

I'm sure there will be problems that need to be fixed so it is unlikely that this version will become the 4.0.0 release without some changes. But please try to build this version and report any problems you find in the bug tracker.  I've added a new version tag for the release candidate, so please use that when reporting problems.

On OS X (I’m my case Mavericks with Xcode 6.1), the default build using llvm/clang-3.4 fails (see below). As I’m trying to build 4.0.0-rc1 as octave-devel under MacPorts, I’m avoiding rebuilding everything using gcc-4.9, which I’ve done building hg tip.
