Bash on Windows can accept path names in either the drive-letter form (e.g., z:/home/wine/bin) or leading-"/" form (e.g., /z/home/wine/bin). The PATH variable for bash is colon-separated so on windows there is obviously a special interpretation problem for PATH components in the drive-letter form. The symptom of the problem was for the PATH set up by our test scripts which libplplot.dll found that dll without troubles, but executables that needed that dll could not find it because there was an unrelated drive-letter form of component high in the path that confused it. The solution is to make sure all bash scripts set the PATH using components that have been transformed from the drive-letter form to the leading-"/" form (see revision 11366). The result of this revision is comprehensive_test.sh works for the very first time with option --do_test_install_tree yes for MinGW/MSYS on wine Windows. For that case, I get no errors and the same diff report for the installed examples tree as the above diff report for the --do_test_build_tree yes case. That is an extremly promising Windows breakthrough for the installed examples tree case which I plan to exploit by downloading and installing a lot more Window's forms of PLplot dependencies to strengthen the PLplot testing I can do on the wine Windows platform.
