[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49765] Windows CLI version octave tries to write history to C:\

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #49765 (project octave):

Ok, this has evolved into how to get bash to initialize the HOME environment
variable correctly.

Is anyone interested in testing a patch to try to get the user's home
directory from the operating system even when HOME and HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH
are not in the environment at all? Because we already do that on GNU systems
and I think Octave should behave symmetrically on other systems. I am willing
to write a patch if someone is willing to build and test.
