Closing as fixed.

At some stage the communications package will get a new release which should fix the issues

Thank you.

Everything compiled. Plus I learned how to properly apply patches.

I think the communications-1.2.1.tar.gz should be submitted as a patch.

Something like communications-1.2.1_patch.tar.gz so other users can download it and install the package. If this is not the correct octave procedure.

Then I think you can copy your last comment and post it on the other bugs. Reports listed in this thread.

Since this fixed my problem of installing the package. This bug can be closed. Thank you again for your help.

The full process:

From command line:

wget --no-check-certificate https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/octave/Octave%20Forge%20Packages/Individual%20Package%20Releases/communications-1.2.1.tar.gz

tar xzvf communications-1.2.1.tar.gz

cd communications-1.2.1

wget --no-check-certificate -O- https://savannah.gnu.org/support/download.php?file_id=35540 | patch -p1

wget --no-check-certificate -O- https://savannah.gnu.org/support/download.php?file_id=41245 | patch -p1

wget --no-check-certificate -O- https://savannah.gnu.org/support/download.php?file_id=34805 | patch -p1

cd src

autoconf

cd ../..

tar czvf communications-1.2.1.tar.gz communications-1.2.1


And then from octave:

pkg install communications-1.2.1.tar.gz

After patching the files, you need to run autoconf in the src directory to regenerate configure, before taring it all up to install in octave.

Thank you for your response.

I applied all 3 patches from the link.

Now I get and error about ls-oct-ascii.h not being found

Searching I found
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45856

I applied this patch as well. This still gives the error of:

ov-galois.cc:37:35: fatal error: octave/ls-oct-ascii.h: No such file or directory
 #  include <octave/ls-oct-ascii.h>

Are there more patches I am missing?

The released communications package needs to be patched in order to compile.

See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?46521

Hello,

I tried to install the communications v1.2.1 and it failed during the 'make' portion.

I have attached the output of:
control v3.0.0
signal v1.3.2
communications 1.2.1

There are some warnings of deprecated styles for the first 2 packages, but they did install.

From the error it states base-lu.h is missing. Is this part of another package?

In my directory:
ls base-*

Gives:
base-dae.h  base-de.h  base-list.h  base-min.h  base-text-renderer.h

Thanks
