GROMACS version: 2024.1
GROMACS modification: Yes/No No
How can change something to avoid this error from tar:
gromacs-2024.1/api/legacy/include/external/boost: Can’t create ‘\?\c:\Gromacs2\gromacs-2024.1\api\legacy\include\external\boost’: Invalid argument
Some hints imply that gromacs/tar is attempting to create a directory with an invalid character . the '\?\ is a likely culprit. Thoughts?
Hi!
(summarizing the analysis from our issue tracker)
Indeed, there is an issue with built-in Windows tar archive extractor. Thanks for bringing it up to our attention!
As a workaround, you can use tar from MINGW64 (if you want CLI) or 7-Zip (if your like GUI), they both work fine. I think most other third-party software should work fine too.
