I noticed an error from movefile when installing the io package on
windows saying that there were no files to move. Can anyone else
confirm this
problem,
or is it just me? All I did was
pkg install -noauto -verbose io-2.2.6.tar.gz
and the installation fails with the movefile "no files to move" error.
Should this problem be fixed in pkg by avoiding the call to movefile
if
there are
no files to move, or should movefile simply issue a warning if there
are
no files
to move and return success?

I see it on my 4.1.0+
pkg install -forge -noauto -verbose io
mkdir (C:\Users\JDONOG~1.ECE\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-lSqsGj)
untar (C:\Octave\Octave-4.1.0+\src\io-2.2.6.tar.gz,
C:\Users\JDONOG~1.ECE\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-lSqsGj)
movefile: no files to move
error: called from 'movefile' in file
C:\Octave\Octave-4.1.0+\share\octave\4.1.0+\m\miscellaneous\movefile.
m
near line 92, column 5
It doesn't do it in 3.8.2
Any idea what changed? Is it the assumption of what directory the PKG_???
file
will be installed in? The post_install script uses
files = cstrcat (desc.archprefix, filesep, octave_config_info
("canonical_host_type"),
"-", octave_config_info ("api_version"), filesep,
"PKG_???");
Is that no longer the valid location of the PKG_??? files? If we just
want a quick
fix for this problem with 4.1.0+, is there a better way to specify the
location of
these files?
It also seems to me that using fullfile would be better than concatenating
with
filesep, but that's a separate issue.

On 3.8.2 it compiled the octfile etc, on 4.1.0 it doesn't.
Looking in configure_make.m, there is a change on the shell call for make:
4.8.2: shell ([scenv "make -C '" src "'"], verbose);
4.1.0: shell (sprintf ("%s make --jobs %i --directory '%s'",
scenv, nproc ("overridable"), src),
verbose);
ans = MKOCTFILE="C:\Octave\Octave-4.1.0+\bin\mkoctfile-4.1.0+.exe --verbose"
OCTAVE_CONFIG="C:\Octave\Octave-4.1.0+\bin\oc
tave-config-4.1.0+.exe"
OCTAVE="C:\Octave\Octave-4.1.0+\bin\octave-4.1.0+.exe"
INSTALLDIR="C:\Octave\Octave-4.1.0+\share\o
ctave\packages\io-2.2.6" make --jobs 4 --directory
'C:\Users\JDONOG~1.ECE\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-sTrdWG\io\src'
ans = MKOCTFILE="C:\Octave\Octave-3.8.2\bin\mkoctfile-3.8.2.exe"
OCTAVE_CONFIG="C:\Octave\Octave-3.8.2\bin\octave-config-3
.8.2.exe" OCTAVE="C:\Octave\Octave-3.8.2\bin\octave-3.8.2.exe"
INSTALLDIR="C:\Octave\Octave-3.8.2\share\octave\packages\io
-2.2.6" make -C 'C:\Users\JDONOG~1.ECE\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-3\io\src'
If I comment out the lines in configure_make.m that append the --verbose
option to makeoctfile, then starts running mkoctfile
