I am having compilation issues for `signal`.

[furkanturan]

I am having compilation issues for signal. Apparently, the query_string_val_on_tmln function is removed from the signal with a commend that says

(zoq) I am removing thse because they aren't used in Surfer so I can't test them properly

However, the main() directly depends on it.

Are there any pointer for resolving the issue?

Oh interesting, I guess I never tested the examples after removing that function 🤔. Since it worked and compiled as a library I was happy

Thanks for the report

If you'd like to take a stab at fixing it, the commit that broke these is probably in #36 and should just be a matter of reverting the removal of that function
