[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40381] MXE / MinGW - setenv does not work correctly

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #40381 (project octave):

Reporting test results poses a problem as fntests.log is nowhere to be found.
In an (MXE-cross) octave build from yesterday I found it in the OCTAVE_HOME
subdir (i.e., "root dir") itself. But in today's build (hg id see above) it
seems it isn't created.

A more positive thing is that I saw no makeinfo issues.
In the %TEMP% dir I found loads of octave-help-<random string> files, all
containing \texinfo text. Based on their time stamp I think these are made
during __run_test_suite__ operation.

Anyway, from the messages scrolling by on XP I see 39 FAILS and on Win 7 37;
no idea why that is different. The fntests.log from yesterday's build shows:

- conv2.cc yields 7 FAILS (also on Linux)
- bug38236 yields 1 FAIL (also on Linux; "vr undefined")
MinGW-specific (i.e., not seen on Linux):
- data.cc 4 FAILS (Inf vs NaN as usual on MinGW)
- quadgk: max_recursion_depth exceeded
- classdef (20 FAILs) - wonder why it counts those on a non-classdef build
- system.cc: file attributes (always fails on MinGW as Windows file attributes
are different)
- syscalls.cc: AFAICS CRLF versus LF line ending issues
- assert.m: some less easily diagnosed FAILs
plus a few more (no time now to scrutinize the fntests.log).

Usually MinGW builds have 10-12 FAILS; discounting the 20 classdef ones there
are now a few more (assert, quadgk, syscalls). Hopefully I can have a look at
those by the end of this week.
