[erlang-questions] systools:make_tar/2 fails because of {filename, join, [[]]}

[Nikola Skoric]

Hello everybody,

Here is my problem:

nick@REDACTED:~/code/egon_server$ erl -pa ebin
Erlang R13B03 (erts-5.7.4) [source] [smp:4:4] [rq:4] [async-threads:0]
[hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.7.4  (abort with ^G)
1> systools:make_script("es_rel-0.0.1", [{path, ["ebin"]}]).
ok
2> systools:make_tar("es_rel-0.0.1", [{path, ["ebin"]},{erts,
code:root_dir()}]).
{{case_clause,
     {'EXIT',
         {function_clause,
             [{filename,join,[[]]},
              {systools_make,add_appl,7},
              {systools_make,'-add_applications/5-fun-0-',6},
              {lists,foldl,3},
              {systools_make,add_applications,5},
              {systools_make,mk_tar,6},
              {systools_make,mk_tar,5},
              {systools_make,make_tar,2}]}}},
 [{systools_make,'-add_applications/5-fun-0-',6},
  {lists,foldl,3},
  {systools_make,add_applications,5},
  {systools_make,mk_tar,6},
  {systools_make,mk_tar,5},
  {systools_make,make_tar,2},
  {erl_eval,do_apply,5},
  {shell,exprs,6}]}
error

Now, that is exactly the same problem as these two:
http://erlang.2086793.n4.nabble.com/troubleshooting-systools-make-tar-td2117171.html
http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2008-August/037463.html

I tried things advised in those threads, but nothing helped. I'm
trying to build a release of this project:
https://github.com/egon-sim/egon_server. Does anybody have any hints
where to start looking for error?

Thanks in advance,
Nikola
