[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40606] mxe-octave built octave: fails syscalls.cc-tst

[Michael Goffioul]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #40606 (project octave):

That behavior is in-line with CreateProcess documentation, it'll search in
that order: directory of the executable, current directory, windows system32
directory, windows directory, PATH.

You could avoid all the hassle by using absolute paths instead:


if ispc ()
  sort_bin = file_in_path (getenv ("PATH"), "sort.exe");
else
  sort_bin = "sort";
endif
if ! isempty (sort_bin)
  % check which "sort" flavor you're using
  ...
  % run the test
  ...
endif
