I'm using the glob module in GNU Octave and a Windows user complained that linking failed with an undefined reference to getlogin.
The problem appears to be that getlogin_r is called from glob, and the gnulib replacement for getlogin_r calls getlogin unconditionally, but getlogin doesn't exist on Windows systems. What would be the preferred way of fixing this problem? Should there be a separate getlogin module? I see there is a doc/posix-functions/getlogin.texi file and that getlogin is mentioned in MODULES.html.sh and doc/gnulib.texi, but there doesn't appear to be an actual getlogin module. Providing a getlogin function for Windows should be fairly simple. For example, there is one in the libgfortran sources: http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/libgfortran/intrinsics/getlog.c?view=markup If adding a module is the thing to do, I could try to do it but I'm still very new to the gnulib sources so I might need some guidance to get all the details right. Thanks, jwe
