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

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #45813 (project octave):

@Mike:
Sure, simply replacing strsplit by ostrsplit fixes this:

>> dirname =
'C:/Programs/Octave/Octave-4.1.0+_w64/share/octave/packages/geometry2.0.0';
>> strsplit (dirname,filesep ("all"), true)
ans =
{
  [1,1] =
C:/Programs/Octave/Octave-4.1.0+_w64/share/octave/packages/geometry-2.0.0
}
>> ostrsplit (dirname,filesep ("all"), true)
ans =
{
  [1,1] = C:
  [1,2] = Programs
  [1,3] = Octave
  [1,4] = Octave-4.1.0+_w64
  [1,5] = share
  [1,6] = octave
  [1,7] = packages
  [1,8] = geometry-2.0.0
}
>>


But the canonicalize_file_name fix (bug #45816) also fixes the original bug
here.
Replacing canoicalize_file_name by make_absolute_filename would also do as
geometry-2.0.0.tar.gz is guaranteed to exist once PKG_ADD is invoked.

So all in all the geometry package maintainer has a lot of options :-)

I retreat from here, I think I (like you) have done my share.
