[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49765] Windows CLI version octave tries to write history to C:\

[John Donoghue]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #49765 (project octave):

On my win64 Wndows 10 machine:

running the shortcut for the shell.

HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH='\'


Running cmd.exe, 

HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH=\Users\johnd


When running octave from its shortcur rather than from the Bashsell shortcut,
and octave is set the same as cmd.exe


It also appears that bash is not using the /etc/profile file from the mxe
install.

If I change the bashshell script to:
%OCTAVE_HOME%\bin\bash.exe --init-file %OCTAVE_HOME%\etc\profile

I get the same path as cli.exe
