SUMMARY

This discussion addresses the issue of locating the oct.h header file while using Octave with C++ on Fedora 16. Users confirmed that the Fedora build may not include the oct.h library, which is essential for compilation. The resolution involved identifying a missing library rather than a problem with the header file itself. The Octave manual, available on the Octave Homepage or SourceForge, provides necessary guidance for users encountering similar issues.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Octave version installed via Yum on Fedora 16
  • Understanding of C++ compilation processes and header file usage

NEXT STEPS

Hi all,
I'm using Fedora 16 and installed Octave thru Yum.
There is an example in the Octave manual of using Octave with C++ and it #includes a oct.h file.
However, the Fedora build may not have compiled the oct.h library ? or I'm searching in the wrong places.
Has anyone had any experience of this and does anyone know or can suggest a workaround ?
Just point me in a direction if you can please.

Hey DonaldD and welcome to the forums.

You should note that header files are never compiled: only source files with a .c, .cpp, or similar are compiled.

Header files are usually packed only with definitions and even if they do include any code, they are never compiled into a source object file so if you are worried about compilation issues with this .h, you don't need to.

Can you point us to a link regarding this header file and information?
 
Just got a reply from another forum. solved it. There was a missing library.
I know, the header is not compiled. It's just a textual definition file. Just the way I worded it.
If you still want to look at this, it's in the Octave manual, either the Homepage or on sourceforge
