[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57143] print ('-tight', 'q.eps') produces no file

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #57143 (project octave):

It looks to me like the pipeline might be incorrectly created on Windows.  On
Linux there is a ';' to separate the commands given to the shell.  On Windows,
the character is '&'.  However, it looks like the temporary filename used by
gs.exe is being replicated.

The command from comment #6 is


opengl-pipeline: 'C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.0\mingw64\bin\gs.exe -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-dBATCH -dSAFER -dAutoRotatePages=/None -sDEVICE=eps2write
-sOutputFile="C:\Users\vlg\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-3eMH9a.eps" -
C:\Users\vlg\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-3eMH9a.eps &
C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.0\mingw64\bin\epstool.exe --quiet --copy --bbox
C:\Users\vlg\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-3eMH9a.eps 'tight.eps'  & del
C:\Users\vlg\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-3eMH9a.eps '


I think this should be 


opengl-pipeline: 'C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.0\mingw64\bin\gs.exe -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-dBATCH -dSAFER -dAutoRotatePages=/None -sDEVICE=eps2write
-sOutputFile="C:\Users\vlg\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-3eMH9a.eps" - 


Followed by 


& C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.0\mingw64\bin\epstool.exe --quiet --copy --bbox
C:\Users\vlg\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-3eMH9a.eps 'tight.eps'  & del
C:\Users\vlg\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-3eMH9a.eps '


without 


C:\Users\vlg\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-3eMH9a.eps 


in the middle.
