[Radiance-general] genklemsamp.pl error on Windows

[Thomas Bleicher]

Hi Mostapha

Try to replace

if ($windoz) {
    my $tmploc = `echo \%TMP\%`;
    chomp($tmploc);
    ...

with

if ($windoz) {
    if (exists $ENV{'TMP'}) {
        my $tmploc = $ENV{'TMP'};
    } else {
        my $tmploc = "C:\\Windows\\Temp";
    }
    chomp($tmploc);
    ...


Warning: Untested!

Regards,
Thomas
