Apparently there is something wrong with this build:

>> help nchoosek
syntax error at C:\Octave\Octave-4.0.1\bin\makeinfo line 54, near "my "

C:\Octave\Octave-4.0.1\bin\makeinfo line 54.

Additional help for built-in functions and operators is

A similar error occurs when I try to run the build_packages script:

>> build_packages

## cd to script directory as the packages files are in the same place
packagedir = fileparts (mfilename ("fullpathext"));
if length (packagedir) > 0
  cd (packagedir);
endif;
cd (packagedir);
## helper function to try install a package, and recover

function try_install (pkgname)
  currdir = pwd ();
  try
    pkg ('install', pkgname, '-noauto')
  catch err
    warning (err.identifier, err.message);
  end_try_catch;
  cd (currdir);
  endfunction;

;
## install the packages
try_install ('general-2.0.0.tar.gz')

[and so on]

Do you have any idea how to fix this?
