[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46332] Make video package compile with Octave 4.0.0

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #46332 (project octave):

Please also put on patch tracker, let's follow up there.

Just two remarks:

AFAIK it is possible to check for Octave version in code, possibly even in
#define statements (I'm unsure there). See HACKING.

But I think it preferable, in the sense of less complications and less work,
to aim at supporting only Octave's development + current stable releases and
at the very most the previous stable release both when creating a new OF
package and when resurrecting an old and abandoned one from the code
graveyards.
After all, core Octave itself only receives patches for the stable and
development branches - backports aren't supported.
It'll make your life as package maintainer significantly lighter :-)
