One other curiosity. If you look higher in test_tcl.sh(.in) you find the
following shell commands:
cd "${OUTPUT_DIR}"
results="`pwd`"
export results
So ${results} should normally refer to the same directory as
${OUTPUT_DIR}. However, the pwd command always returns absolute
results so therefore ${results} is absolute as well, while
${OUTPUT_DIR} is relative if I recall correctly. So your earlier idea
that ${results} refers to a pathname too long for Windows to handle
_might_ be the explanation of why ${OUTPUT_DIR} works but ${results} does
not. On the other hand, the thread starting at
http://lists-archives.org/mingw-users/18294-msys-bash-maximum-length-of-command-line-arguments.html
indicates the Windows pathname limit is 8191 characters, and in any
case we are using bash here which that thread implies has even a longer
pathname limit.
I have no explanation of why the Tcl results are not showing up in the
summary except possibly they are put into the wrong directory. Maybe
the absolute pathname really is needed? I will look further at all of
this once I have downloaded and installed everything I need (including
Tcl) to do a thorough test of PLplot under wine.
