[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51632] MS Windows portable (i.e. zip) version cannot find pre-installed packages, needs pkg rebuild, not mentioned at first run

[John Donoghue]

Follow-up Comment #22, bug #51632 (project octave):

for the building of octave_packages file, 

cd $(HOST_PREFIX)
OCTAVE_HOME=. octave-cli --eval 'pkg rebuild -global'

appears to create the octave_packages file, with paths now as
./share/octave/packages/commuications-1.2.1 and
./lib/octave/packages/communications-1.2.1, so if the package database worked
with names relative to OCTAVE_HOME, I think that would work.
