[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45813] geometry-2.0.0 fails to install on windows

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #45813 (project octave):

OK, tested without Mike's canonicalize_file_name patch and with dev version of
geometry.

PKG_ADD:

#1
dirlist = {"geom2d","io","polygons2d","shape2d", "graphs",...
           "geom3d","meshes3d","polynomialCurves2d"};
## Get full path, with luck we can retireve the package name from here
dirname = fileparts (canonicalize_file_name (mfilename ("fullpath")));
pp = strsplit (dirname,filesep ("all"), true);
:
:


(never mind the spelling & style things)

and the results:

>> canonicalize_file_name ('geometry-2.0.0.tar.gz')
ans = F:\dev\of\geometry/geometry-2.0.0.tar.gz

## => unpatched canonicalize_file_name

>> pkg install -auto -verbose geometry-2.0.0.tar.gz

FYI, a little debug session after inserting "keyboard" statement at l.6 of
PKG_ADD (right before the 'strsplit ...filesep("all")...' line:

>> pkg install -auto -verbose geometry-2.0.0.tar.gz
mkdir (C:\Users\philip\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-a2SOwN)
untar (geometry-2.0.0.tar.gz, C:\Users\philip\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-a2SOwN)
stopped in
C:\Programs\Octave\Octave-4.1.0+_w64\share\octave\packages\geometry-2.0.0\PKG_ADD

  [1,5] = share
  [1,6] = octave
  [1,7] = packages
  [1,8] = geometry-2.0.0
}
debug>


My conclusions so far:
- invoking filesep ("all") doesn't make any difference, could maybe even work
out adversely;
- it is the fix to canonicalize_file_name that makes the difference.
