[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40381] MXE / MinGW - setenv does not work correctly

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #21, bug #40381 (project octave):

I checked in the following change to fix the setenv/putenv problem.  It seems
to work for me.

  http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/415583856971

I guess this is the reward I get for trying to fix a memory leak.  :-(

It would probably be better to figure out why gnulib::setenv isn't working,
but for now I'm going with this change.

This does improve the situation for me with the tests.  Now I'm seeing 11402
PASS, 22 FAIL, 4 XFAIL, and 55 SKIPPED.  I'm not building with LLVM or JAVA,
so that's probably why the skipped count is so high.

Now that Octave can properly set the PATH before executing programs, I'm not
seeing the messages about makeinfo.  I am still seeing a series of permission
denied errors from system-tst about date.m.  It looks like it is searching the
load path for date.m and giving a permission denied error about the file in
each directory of the load path.  I don't know what that's about, but anyway
things look a lot better to me now than they did this time yesterday...
