[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44753] [OF] control-2.8.0 won't install on Octave built for 64-b Windows

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #44753 (project octave):

1. I did:  pkg install -forge -verbose control-2.8.0

2. No, I didn't specify  --enable-binary-packages (in MXE)
If the now running build on Linux ends within 10 mins I'll try a cross-build
tonight. 

3. I don't follow. Do you mean this:
In Octave (on Windows), "mkoctfile -p AR" gives  "ar", in 32-bit and in 64-bit
Octave.
When I specified the full path to ar.exe in the Makefile for control pkg,

AR := C:/Programs/Octave/Octave32-4.0.0-rc1/bin/ar.exe

...control-2.8.0 installs fine ( $(AR) is recognized OK ).

I remember that when I made a typo in the path, the control pkg build ended
with (IIRC) "rc not found" - rc is a parameter of ar.exe in the Makefile.
