Hello Octave Help,
I would like to resolve a problem I have been having with installing packages to Octave 3.8 under windows. I need signal package but have to get 'general' working for the dependency. Packages worked on 3.64 for me, now they don't. I believe the directions for Windows users which I have seen online suggest using the build_packages.m script which I have tried to use both unmodified and modified as below.
The orginal code
[packagedir] = fileparts(mfilename("fullpathext"))
if length(packagedir) > 0
endif
kicked me out with a zero length path.
Commenting out this part of the script
and adding
cd('C:\Octave\Octave-3.8.1\src');
pkg install general-1.3.4.tar.gz -verbose
Gives an error long message below.
(# pkg install general-1.3.2.tar.gz -verbose also fails.)
From the web, I see on the web that there was some sort of a bug fix/update for general-1.3.4.
Was this not resolved?
What else does it take to get this working on Windows?
any ideas???
david
