The warnings on deprecated LFLAGS are already fixed in a development
branch in the package's hg repositorium.

The core problem that prevents a successful installation is the missing
permissions for the install directory of your currently installed
control package 3.1.0
(C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.0\mingw64\share\octave\packages\control-3.1.0).
Could you try to install the packages as administrator?
