Description Karthik Kumar 2006-09-14 07:27:13 PDT 
When this command is invoked on Windows:

perl WebKitTools/Scripts/prepare-Changelog

It throws an error on tempDir() about unable to write to directory /tmp

However, the script runs fine when called from WebKitTools/Scripts/,

as: perl prepare-Changelog

The prepare-ChangeLog script uses the TMPDIR environment variable (or if that doesn't exist, "/tmp") for its temp directory.  Do you have any better suggestions?  I wonder if there is a Perl module that would give me a temp directory, or whether we should just take the default from File::Temp if neither $ENV{TEMPDIR} nor /tmp exit?

Also, are you building under Cygwin per the instructions?
