Hello All,
A result, see below.

Hello All,
Running Octave 3.6.4 on Fedora 19 x86_64.

Trying to build a mex file, as follows;
"mkoctfile --mex apply_blur_kernel_mex.cpp" gives the following (partial) error message...

/usr/include/c++/4.8.1/cstdlib: In function ‘long long int std::abs(long long int)’: /usr/include/c++/4.8.1/cstdlib:174:20: error: declaration of C function ‘long long int std::abs(long long int)’ conflicts with
    abs(long long __x) { return __builtin_llabs (__x); }

A response posted to a similar error message (not related to Octave) was...

"That because header cstdlib is included in a 'extern "C"' block that gcc
4.8 doesn't support. Fix it by move the header file out of the 'extern "C"'
block."

A look at /usr/include/octave-3.6.4/octave/mexproto.h, shows...

#if defined (__cplusplus)
#include <cstdlib>
extern "C" {
#else
#include <stdlib.h>
#endif

I'm not sufficiently au fait with C and C++ to fully understand what is going on here. Does anyone know if this Is this the problem, and what is the recommended way I fix this?

I finally tracked down a bug report, from a little while ago, relating to this problem. The fix is to move the code ' #include "mexproto.h" ' in '/usr/include/octave-3.6.4/octave/mex.h' (the location in Octave 3.6.4 Fedora 19 x86_64) up about 8 lines to just prior to 'extern "C" {'.
When this done the mex file builds OK.

Cheers,
