pkg install -forge control doesn't work on Windows binaries

[Michel ETIQUE]

Hi,
I work with an Octave binary (3.6.4) for Windows 7 and try to update my
control package. I get the following message:

>pkg install -forge control
make: /bin/sh: Command not found
make: *** [slicotlibrary.a] Error 127
'make' returned the following error: make: Entering directory
`/tmp/oct-7/contro
l/src'
tar -xzf slicot.tar.gz
mkdir sltmp
mv slicot/src/*.f ./sltmp
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/oct-7/control/src'
error: called from 'pkg>configure_make' in file
C:\Software\Octave-3.6.4\share\o
ctave\3.6.4\m\pkg\pkg.m near line 1385, column 9
error: called from:

A similar problem occurs if I try

>pkg install control-2.6.6.tar.gz
make: /bin/sh: Command not found
make: *** [slicotlibrary.a] Error 127
'make' returned the following error: make: Entering directory
`/tmp/oct-8/contro
l/src'
tar -xzf slicot.tar.gz
mkdir sltmp
mv slicot/src/*.f ./sltmp
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/oct-8/control/src'
error: called from 'pkg>configure_make' in file
C:\Software\Octave-3.6.4\share\o
ctave\3.6.4\m\pkg\pkg.m near line 1385, column 9

error:   C:\Software\Octave-3.6.4\share\octave\3.6.4\m\pkg\pkg.m at line

Any idea of what I could do ?

Thanks in advance.

Michel
