Details:

On running both the released, and whats in mercurial for the strings package:


>> pkg install -verbose -forge -nodeps strings
mkdir (C:\Users\JDONOG~1.ECE\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-cNUfgW)

It doesn't like the way the Makefile is trying to find the libraries, most
likely due to windows file names having the '\' in them.

If

PCRE_LIBS := $(shell  grep "\#define OCTAVE_CONF_PCRE_LIBS"  $(shell 
$(MKOCTFILE) -p OCTINCLUDEDIR)/oct-conf.h | sed 's/^.*LIBS //;s/"//g'  )


is changed to 


PCRE_LIBS := $(shell pcre-config --libs)


It compiles OK.

The issue of course will then be systems that don't have pcre-config
