[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44007] tar %!xtest fails on Windows due to filesep issues and tar.exe issues

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #31, bug #44007 (project octave):

I would really prefer if we could get the utilities to behave the same way
under Linux and MinGW.  Otherwise I foresee a bunch of ispc () checks all
throughout the code.

However, just a check, I used


 cmd = sprintf ("tar cvf %s -C %s %s 2<&1",
                          tarfile, rootdir, sprintf (" %s", files{:}));


which uses the shell to send STDERR to STDOUT which then can be captured by
the system() call in Octave.
