Not much help there:

>> pkg install -verbose 
>> C:/Octave/Octave-5.1.0.0/home/communications-1.2.2.tar.gz
mkdir (C:\Users\windhoal\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-X4FYum)
untar (C:\Octave\Octave-5.1.0.0\home\communications-1.2.2.tar.gz,

p\oct-X4FYum)
sh: line 1:  2704 Segmentation fault      (core dumped)

' OCTAVE='C:/Octave/OCTAVE~1.0/mingw64/bin/octave-5.1.0.bat' ./configure CC=gcc

pkg: error running the configure script for communications.
error: called from
    configure_make at line 82 column 9
    install at line 184 column 7
    pkg at line 441 column 9

The lines from configure_make are:

      cmd = ["cd '" src "'; " scenv "./configure " flags];
      [status, output] = shell (cmd, verbose);
      if (status != 0)
        rmdir (desc.dir, "s");
        disp (output);
82 => error ("pkg: error running the configure script for %s.", desc.name);
      endif

So it's trying to run a shell with a command like 'cd "src"; [scenv]./configure 
[flags]'
where scenv contains the name of the compiler?  I haven't used mingw or Unix
much lately.  I'm on Windows 10 here.

The system("cd ...") command doesn't seem to work on my machine; it has no
effect, i.e. if I am in C:/ directory and do system("cd /usr/bin") and 
system("dir")
I see I am still in the root directory.
