Problems installing signal package

[Diego]

Hi all,

I've tried installing the signal package in Octave 4.4.1 running Windows 10
and I had several problems.
The first time I tried with *pkg install -forge signal* and I received this
answer:

*error: pkg: could not download file signal-1.4.0.tar.gz from url
https://packages.octave.org/down
load/signal-1.4.0.tar.gz
error: called from
pkg at line 410 column 13*

So, I downloaded the file and saved it in the folder where Octave is
running. Then I tried again to install with this command *pkg install
signal-1.4.0.tar.gz*. and I obtained this answer:

*medfilt1.cc: In member function 'void sorted_window::init(const double*,
octave_idx_type, octave_
idx_type, octave_idx_type)':
medfilt1.cc:91:7: error: 'bzero' was not declared in this scope
bzero (buf, zeros * sizeof (double));
^~~~~
medfilt1.cc:91:7: note: suggested alternative: 'zeros'
bzero (buf, zeros * sizeof (double));
^~~~~

I don't understand what the problem is so if anybody knows how to help me it
would be amazing. Thank you so much.

Diego.

Maybe I am pointing out the obvious, if so, I apologize. The pre-built versions of Octave for Windows available from the Octave web site already include this version of the signal package (and several other packages). You just need to load it "pkg load signal".

Of course, if you built Octave from source or have special requirements you will need to build the signal package from source.
