Re: glob and fnmatch functions from gnulib

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello


AFAIK, to use glob and fnmatch in windows, patches are required to use path 
separator '\'.
I have been used Benjanmin's Patch.

http://octave.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/octave/trunk/octave-forge/admin/Windows/mingw32/glob/glob-1.0-4.patch?revision=6463

I quickly look at 
gnlib/lib/glob.c

Treatment for path separator '\' does not exit and the patch by Benjamin should 
be applied for windows
build.

I leave this comment for the user who would like to build glob and fnmatch in 
'gnulib' for octave for
windows.

Regards

Tatsuro
