Tested in Windows, where TMP and TEMP are set to the same directory:
If I run mkoctfile with -v, I can see that this directory is used.
If I run setenv("TMPDIR", 'D:\temp') before running mkoctfile again, I can see that D:\temp is used instead.
So it looks like this is working as expected.

Closing as fixed.

I pushed a fix for this on the stable branch


I am completely unable to test this on Windows, so I would appreciate if someone with Windows can test the stable branch and verify that this compiles and that setting TMPDIR does the right thing (run mkoctfile with -v to see where temporary files are written), and that TMPDIR correctly takes precedence over TEMP or TMP, and that they still work if TMPDIR is not set.

Thanks for filing this. I'm assigning myself to fix this within the next couple days on the stable branch.

I'm surprised I never saw this, because I use a non default TMPDIR all the time, but confirm that mkoctfile needs to learn to honor the user's TMPDIR if set.

It appears that mkoctfile does not fully respect TMPDIR as Octave's temp folder location. 

due to permissions limits I cannot compile in the user/appdata/local/temp folder. Setitng tmpdir to another location prior to doing a pkg install using:


setenv('tmpdir','c:\programs\octave\temp')

 
compilation generally works. However, noticed in bug #51344 when  attempting to build the video package that certain lines were still referring back to the system defined TMP or TEMP variables. E.g.:

I think Mike confirmed this occurs for other packages on other platforms, and the suggestion is that mkoctfile is using the wrong variable rather than something else just calling it with the wrong variable.
