Compilation error on Windows - missing directory about treelite HOT 4 CLOSED

@jqluisneumann I'm not too familiar with how temporary directories work on Windows. Do you know the best practices for handling temporaries on Windows?

Not really, I am afraid. But I have managed to find a workaround while looking at the frontend code. As export lib is just a convenience function, I managed to compile a model using "model.compile" and "treelite.shared", as long as i set dirpath in model.compile to the same directory where I have my jupyter notebook, lightgbm model, etc.

So most likely a bug in the tempdir allocation.

@jqluisneumann That's good to hear. Yes, I'd like to spend some time to learn more about how temporaries work in Windows.

@jqluisneumann Update: I fixed the issue with temporary directories in #101. From now on, Treelite will always create temporary directories in the same directory as the libpath specified in export_lib().
