[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60998] fatal: unable to find current directory

[BaldStrong]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #60998 (project octave):


[comment #3 comment #3:]
> Afaict, "get_current_dir_name" isn't part of the POSIX specifications [1].
So, we can't use it (at least not unconditionally).
> 
> Does it also work if you replace that line with the following (i.e., using
the system's getcwd instead of gnulib's implementation)?
> 
>       char *tmp = getcwd (nullptr, 0);
