Hello all,
Could anyone having access to a cygwin environment try to confirm
Marco's problem here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/package-releases/254/ ?
You simply have to download the tarball in my second reply and try
"pkg
-verbose build build2 generate_html-0.1.11.tar.gz".
Answers from people working on Windows or Mac OS could be interesting as
well.

additional info:
1) the problem arises only on pkg build but not on pkg install.
2) just unpacking / repacking Julien's tar file solves the issue.
3) the only difference in the two version that seems relevant is
that the repacked one contains the directory information

while the original is missing that info

-rw-r--r-- 0/0 2964 2016-05-21 22:32
generate_html-0.1.11/inst/generate_html_manual.m
4) generate_html-0.1.10 that has the same structure worked
just the last month. So or it is due to a system change or a
libs change.
Julien's version and repacked one are available also here:
