[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45488] Manual currently is not correct about graphics_toolkits and plots

[Michael Godfrey]

Follow-up Comment #26, bug #45488 (project octave):

The problem with:
warning: delete: no such file: extended-inc.pdf
warning: called from
    delete at line 47 column 9
    plotimages at line 109 column 7
warning: delete: no such file: extended.tex

is due to scope. nm is an argument to plotimages(d, nm, typ)
and system (["pdflatex " nm]); results in:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (TeX Live 2015) (preloaded
format=pdflatex)
 restricted write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
(./doc/interpreter/extended.tex

and its outputs go into ./doc/interpreter/
but:
delete ([nm ".aux"], [nm "-inc.pdf"], [nm ".log"], [nm ".tex"]);

tries to delete the files in the octave home dir:
      system (["pdflatex " nm]);
      system ("ls -l extend*");
      system("pwd");
the last 2 systen calls show:
-rw-rw-r--. 1 godfrey godfrey     8 Jul 11 15:25 extended.aux
-rw-rw-r--. 1 godfrey godfrey 13059 Jul 10 20:58 extended.eps
-rw-rw-r--. 1 godfrey godfrey  8900 Jul 11 15:25 extended.log
-rw-rw-r--. 1 godfrey godfrey 78936 Jul 11 15:25 extended.pdf
-rw-rw-r--. 1 godfrey godfrey 18329 Jul 10 20:58 extended.png
/home/godfrey/d/src/octave/hg/octave
and
      delete ([nm ".aux"], [nm "-inc.pdf"], [nm ".log"], [nm ".tex"]);
tries to delete from /home/godfrey/d/src/octave/hg/octave
even though pdflatex knew to use: ./doc/interpreter/

I think that there is some make rule hat causes this????
