[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44007] test tar changes working directory in MXE-Octave ver 4.1.0+

[John Donoghue]

Follow-up Comment #21, bug #44007 (project octave):

It should be 


>> system('tar --version')
bsdtar 3.1.2 - libarchive 3.1.2
ans = 0


I did a completely clean build on my system (and made sure the sys folders
msys-base and msys-extension were gone), so chances are you are overwriting
the new tar with the msys one.

Looking in Makefile.in, the msys-extension folder doesn't get deleted on a
make clean.

And in binary-dist-files.mk, anything in msys-base and msys-extension if
effectively copied to the dist files, so any old tar.exe there would be
copied.
