Details:

Using the latest sparsersb 1.0.8

Attempting to install in Windows 64 when octave was installed to a path that
has a space in it fails.

Looking at the error, the Makefile is setting environment varaiable CXXFLAGS
to specify the include paths rather than passing directly to mkoctfile and so
msys is expanding them to full windows names.

Changing the makefile (diff) make it work for me:


-       LFLAGS="$(LDFLAGS)" LDFLAGS="$(LDFLAGS)" CXXFLAGS="$(CXXFLAGS)
$(CXXFLAGS_CXX11)" $(MKOCTFILE) -D'RSB_SPARSERSB_LABEL=sparsersb' -o $@ $<
+       $(MKOCTFILE) $(LDFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS_CXX11)
-D'RSB_SPARSERSB_LABEL=sparsersb' -o $@ $<


For the crash, running some of the tested that are embedded in sparsersb.cc
will do it:


rrm=sparsersb(sprand(1000,1000,0.001));
sparsersb(rrm,"render", "sparsersb_temporary_render.eps" ,1024);


It doesn't happen 100% of the time - more like 80% ?

Crash seen in both octave 5.2.0 and 6.0.1
