Integrating Octave in C or C++

DonaldD · #1 21st July 2012, 05:16 AM

Hi,
I've installed Octave via Yum in Fedora 16.
On the Octave user manual page, it describes a general function octave header file 'oct.h' that resides in the Octave <src> directory.
This is for using Octave functions in a C or C++ program.
Problem is that fedora's implementation of octave does not give a <scr> directory and also does not have an 'oct.h' file anywhere.
Am I missing something ? Has anyone come up against this problem before ?
Thanks

The oct.h header file is included in the octave-devel package, which you can install via yum:

Code:

yum install octave-devel

In Fedora 17 it's located at /usr/include/octave-3.6.2/octave/oct.h, so in F16 it's probably in a similar location (with the version number possibly different from 3.6.2).

I finally realised what I had not done.
Much appreciated.
