[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59412] [octave forge] (ocl) Compile package errors with spaces in path

[Jinchuan Tang]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #59412 (project octave):

Dear Markus and John,

I install Octave with the installer downloaded from the alpha ftp page. I
tried it both on my windows 10 PC and windows 7 PC ( Chinese genuine
versions), they all have the same problem. 

To dear Markus:

>> OCTAVE_HOME
ans = C:\Program Files\GNUOCT~1\OCTAVE~1.92\mingw64
>> pkg install -verbose ocl-1.1.1.tar.gz
mkdir (C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-X4Qr9D)
untar (ocl-1.1.1.tar.gz, C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-X4Qr9D)
make: Entering directory '/tmp/oct-X4Qr9D/ocl/src'
C:/Program Files/GNUOCT~1/OCTAVE~1.92/mingw64/bin/mkoctfile-6.0.92.exe
--verbose -c ocl_constant.cc
C:/Program: line 1: [Paths]: command not found
C:/Program: line 2: Files/GNUOCT~1/OCTAVE~1.92/: No such file or directory

directory
C:/Program: line 7: FilesGNUOCT~1OCTAVE~1.92\binqt.conf: No such file or
directory
make: *** [Makefile:75: ocl_constant.o] Error 127
make: Leaving directory '/tmp/oct-X4Qr9D/ocl/src'

error: pkg: error running 'make' for the ocl package.
error: called from
    configure_make at line 110 column 9
    install at line 196 column 7
    pkg at line 568 column 9

Best wishes,
Jinchuan

> I cannot reproduce the error. But it looks like this might be an issue
because Octave or the package doesn't handle that short file name don't seem
to be stored consistently in your file system.
