path of pstoedit (and fig2dev) for fltk printing on octave for windows

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

I have tried to print emf file in the recent development source.
(The latest changeset id is changeset 10885 36a7163a5484. Wed Aug 11 14:55:10)

I have met following error.

octave:19> print('fltk_test.emf','-demf')
pstoedit command: c:\Program Files\pstoedit/pstoedit.exe -f fig
C:/DOCUME~1/Tatsu/LOCALS~1/Temp\oct-15.eps 
C:/DOCUME~1/Tatsu/LOCALS~1/Temp\oct-14.fig 2>&1'c:\Program'
is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch 
file.

warning: print.m: error running pstoedit.
fig2dev command: c:\Program Files\fig2dev/fig2dev.exe -L emf
C:/DOCUME~1/Tatsu/LOCALS~1/Temp\oct-14.fig fltk_test.emf 2>&1'c:\Program' is 
not recognized as an
internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

warning: print.m: error running fig2dev.
No such file or directory
warning: print.m: failed to delete temporay file, 
'C:/DOCUME~1/Tatsu/LOCALS~1/Temp\oct-14.fig'.

Obviously this is white space problem.

I have reinstall pstoedit (and fig2dev) to the directory path of which does not 
have any white space
and modify path environmental variable.  In this case, of course, printing 
itself went well.

For the fig2dev, there are not default directory.  However, for pstoedit, the 
default install path is
"C:\Program Files\pstoedit".

If the command pstoedit command
c:\Program Files\pstoedit/pstoedit.exe
is quoted by double quotes "" like
"c:\Program Files\pstoedit/pstoedit.exe"
Perhaps error may not be appeared.

The above treatment is perhaps only required on octave for windows (cygwin is 
not the case) and the
function ispc can be used.


I have quick look at the script but did not figure out where I have to modify.

BTW, for ghostscript on windows, the default install directory is "c:\gs"

Regards

Tatsuro
