[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53124] [MXE Octave] install in path that includes spaces

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #53124 (project octave):

@lostbard: Installing level-set also fails here.
I ran "pkg install -forge -verbose level-set" and got the following:

>> pkg install -forge -verbose level-set

untar (C:\Users\Markus\AppData\Local\Temp\level-set-0.3.0-Pe5AzJ.tar.gz,

I stepped through pkg/private/install.m and inspected the temporary folder
when the error was caught. See the attachment for its content.
An excerpt from the config.log:

configure:1882: checking whether the C++ compiler works
configure:1904: g++    conftest.cpp  >&5
g++.exe: error: conftest.cpp: No such file or directory
g++.exe: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
configure:1908: $? = 1
configure:1946: result: no
configure: failed program was:
configure:1951: error: in
`/c/Users/Markus/AppData/Local/Temp/oct-mVobq7/level-set/src':
configure:1953: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables


Setting %TEMP% to D:\Temp doesn't make a difference.

Fwiw, I'm seeing the same error when I run the command in Octave 5.2.0
installed with the released installer. So it's probably unrelated to the
change here.
