[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #33652] tmpfile () does not work on MinGW

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #33652 (project octave):

Looking here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x8x7sakw%28v=vs.80%29.aspx

I see


The tmpfile function creates a temporary file and returns a pointer to that
stream. The temporary file is created in the root directory. To create a
temporary file in a directory other than the root, use tmpnam or tempnam in
conjunction with fopen.


Do you have permission to write in the "root directory"?

Also, why isn't the tmpfile function from gnulib being used?  There seems to
be a version there for Windows, so I'm surprised that it is not used.

Hmm, maybe it is because we aren't asking for it.  Can you please try the
attached changeset and see if it helps?  You'll need to run autogen and
configure again after applying it
