build error on Windows about graphviz.jl

[kafisatz]

In my case, a workaround using the windows executable of graphviz is currently feasible (even though it is slightly cumbersome as I need to write the tree into a text file, which I would prefer to avoid)

I get similar error on linux

[mandarup]

this is a workaround that worked for me on linux:

editing ~/.julia/v0.6/GraphViz/deps/build.jl and replacing this line:

provides(Sources,URI("http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/SOURCES/graphviz-2.36.0.tar.gz"),graphviz)

with

provides(Sources,URI("http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/SOURCES/graphviz.tar.gz"),graphviz)

And then,

julia>Pkg.build("GraphViz")

this would most likely give error:

LoadError: Path /home/-/.julia/v0.6/GraphViz/deps/src/graphviz was not created successfully (Tried to run `tar xzf /home/-/.julia/v0.6/GraphViz/deps/downloads/graphviz.tar.gz --directory=/home/-/.julia/v0.6/GraphViz/deps/src` )

while loading /home/-/.julia/v0.6/GraphViz/deps/build.jl, in expression starting on line 44

which can be resolved by
$mv -/.julia/v0.6/GraphViz/deps/src/graphviz-* -/.julia/v0.6/GraphViz/deps/src/graphviz

This is my workaround on Windows.

1. change tar.gz file name in build.jl
   following @mandarup comment above:
   provides(Sources,URI("http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/SOURCES/graphviz-2.36.0.tar.gz"),graphviz)
   to
   provides(Sources,URI("http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/SOURCES/graphviz.tar.gz"),graphviz)

2. add Cairo package
   Pkg.add("Cairo")

3. build GraphViz
   Pkg.build("GraphViz")

After the workaround, I have no errors with 'using GraphViz'.

I tried the Windows workaround but I'm still getting the same error.
