Details:

I was unable to build any package using build_packages and I was also unable
to install packages using the pkg-command (error see below).

The reason seems to be that there were other installations of GCC and MinGW on
my computer in the scope of the environment variables (system variable PATH
and user variable PATH). After removing all the entries pointing to other
installations, build_packages worked and I was also able to install packages
using the pkg-command.

This problem occured in 3.8.1 as well as 3.8.2 and was solved in both cases.

-------------------------

>>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);
## install the packages
pkg ('install', 'general-1.3.4.tar.gz')
g++: error: unrecognized option '-pthread'
