[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60306] Error running files in a folder containing letters that aren't encoded in system locale

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #26, bug #60306 (project octave):

Thanks. Afaics, the STL std::filesystem is (almost?) identical to
boost::filesystem.
In particular, the boost::filesystem::canonical functions seems to be the
same.

I'll bring up in the next meeting if it is ok to make Octave dependent on the
boost libraries. That could be an alternative in case we'd prefer to wait a
considerable time before adopting C++17.

Did you use the boost libraries before? Is it just like linking to any other
library? Or is there something special that one might need to consider?
