I have created a new patch and have put it in the patch tracker (https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/index.php?8786).

This bug can be closed.

As suggested I will make changes so that the code works with current stable release of Octave.

Will put the patch on patch tracker on Monday.

Please also put on patch tracker, let's follow up there.

Just two remarks:

AFAIK it is possible to check for Octave version in code, possibly even in #define statements (I'm unsure there). See HACKING.

But I think it preferable, in the sense of less complications and less work, to aim at supporting only Octave's development + current stable releases and at the very most the previous stable release both when creating a new OF package and when resurrecting an old and abandoned one from the code graveyards.
After all, core Octave itself only receives patches for the stable and development branches - backports aren't supported.
It'll make your life as package maintainer significantly lighter :-)

I assume that older versions of Octave would need those macros. If that is not the case I can remove the lines and create a new changeset.

I think users with older versions of Octave will get a chance to use this package without updating.

IMHO, the correct fix (also for Octave 3.8.2) would be to just remove the lines DEFINE_OCTAVE_ALLOCATOR(Avifile) and DECLARE_OCTAVE_ALLOCATOR

Can you create a new changeset and add it to the patch tracker?

Thanks for contributing, Andy
