RE: signal 1.4.0 package update fails

[Montgomery-Smith, Stephen]

FYI: with FreeBSD I get the following error:

/usr/local/bin/mkoctfile -Wno-deprecated-declarations  medfilt1.cc -o 
medfilt1.oct
medfilt1.cc:40:27: error: redefinition of 'truncate'
enum pad_type { zero_pad, truncate };
                          ^
/usr/include/sys/types.h:385:6: note: previous definition is here
int      truncate(const char *, off_t);
         ^
medfilt1.cc:326:19: error: assigning to 'pad_type' from incompatible type 'int
      (const char *, off_t)' (aka 'int (const char *, long)')
        padding = truncate;
                  ^~~~~~~~


I was able to fix it by renaming truncate to truncate2 (or I could have called 
it do_truncate).

trying to update or install signal on new octave install (windows zip-package):
