liboctave-dev: #include bugs

[Aidan Macdonald]

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu 14.10, I don't know if this is Ubuntu specific.

I am trying to build a program using liboctave-dev. I got the below error

/usr/include/octave-3.8.1/octave/oct.h:31:20: fatal error: config.h: No such file or directory

 #include <config.h>

I edited the file and changed

#include <config.h> ==> #include "config.h"

After fixing the previous, I got

/usr/include/octave-3.8.1/octave/comment-list.h:28:23: fatal error: base-list.h: No such file or directory

 #include <base-list.h>

And I fixed it in comment-list.h by changing

#include <base-list.h> ==> #include "base-list.h"

Which led to this bug

/usr/include/octave-3.8.1/octave/file-io.h:30:8: error: ‘OCTINTERP_API’ does not name a type

 extern OCTINTERP_API void initialize_file_io (void);

        ^

/usr/include/octave-3.8.1/octave/file-io.h:32:8: error: ‘OCTINTERP_API’ does not name a type

 extern OCTINTERP_API void close_files (void);

        ^

/usr/include/octave-3.8.1/octave/file-io.h:34:8: error: ‘OCTINTERP_API’ does not name a type

 extern OCTINTERP_API void mark_for_deletion (const std::string&);

        ^

/usr/include/octave-3.8.1/octave/file-io.h:36:8: error: ‘OCTINTERP_API’ does not name a type

 extern OCTINTERP_API void cleanup_tmp_files (void);

Which I fixed in file-io.h by adding

#include "config.h"

after the line 

#define octave_file_io_h 1
