[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46521] [octave forge] (communications) fails to build with latest stable octave

[Nir Krakauer]

Follow-up Comment #42, bug #46521 (project octave):

Thanks! The new octave-6.0-all.patch works for me if, after applying it, I
install the package manually, namely


cd ~/Desktop
tar czf communications-1.2.1.tar.gz -C $HOME'/Documents/octave-hg'
octave-communications
octave:1> cd ~/Desktop; pkg prefix ~/octave ~/octave;
octave:2> pkg install '~/Desktop/communications-1.2.1.tar.gz'


I do get a warning when loading it:


warning: autoload: 'gf.oct' is not an absolute filename
warning: called from
    /home/nir/octave/communications-1.2.1/PKG_ADD at line 2 column 1
    load_packages_and_dependencies at line 48 column 5
    load_packages at line 47 column 3
    pkg at line 495 column 7


However, `make dist` fails:
