[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 #7, bug #44753 (project octave):

It is unclear to me what the ar. (w/o file extension) is used for. It is a
binary file, but won't run in mingw/MSYS shell:

$ ar.
./ar.: ./ar.: cannot execute binary file
$ ar.exe
Usage: d:\Octave\Octave32-4.0.0-rc2\bin\ar.exe [emulation options]
[-]{dmpqrstx}[abcDfilMNoPsSTuvV] [--plugin <name>] [member-name] [count]
archive-file file...
       d:\Octave\Octave32-4.0.0-rc2\bin\ar.exe -M [<mri-script]
 commands:
  d            - delete file(s) from the archive
:


Moreover, I do not see binary files w/o extension in the 32-bit Octave bin/
subdir; I only see them in the 64-bit Octave bin/ folder. Could that explain a
few things?
