[Gmsh] Windows : Trouble with Novell

[karin.niko at freesurf.fr]

Dear Gmsh-ers,

I have a problem with Gmsh running under Windows with a Novell
network. Our machine are configured so that our home directory
is on a distant file server whose name is something like "CLDATA/
DATA10/...". Then when trying to work interactively with Gmsh, the
code tries to write is a temporary file located through the concatenation
of the home directory + the temporary file name. And this crashes
that way :

Info    : -------------------------------------------------------
Info    : Gmsh version   : 1.60.1
Info    : Build OS       : CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.10(0.116/4/2)
Info    : Build options  : GSL TRIANGLE NETGEN JPEG PNG ZLIB MATHEVAL

Info    : Build host     : geuz
Info    : Packager       : geuzaine
Info    : Home directory : CLDATA1/DATA10:Users/cano-val/
Info    : Launch date    : Thu Apr 21 16:06:17 2005
Info    : Command line   : /cygdrive/p/DOSSIER_VALERIE/GMSH/gmsh
Info    : -------------------------------------------------------
Error   : Unable to open temporary file
'CLDATA1/DATA10:Users/cano-val/.gmsh-tmp'

As you can see, from Cygwin viewpoint, this drive is name /cygdrive/p but
not 'CLDATA1/DATA10'.

Well, is there a way to define the home directory? This could certainly
solve our problem...

Thanx in advance,

          Nicolas
