[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #29462] compile fails: strerror is not a member of gnulib

[Petr Mikulik]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #29462 (project octave):

Except for OpenSUSE, the same problem I see in Debian as well (both with g++
4.3.2). I really cannot exchange g++ there. 

The error message says:
   error: ‘strerror’ is not a member of ‘gnulib’ 
Thus I wonder how "gnulib" as a GNU library can be a part of C++ standard
library -- I guess it is some kind of GNU extension. So why exchange
compiler?

I replaced
       gnulib::strerror (errno);
by
       strerror (errno);
and then Octave compiles OK. So it looks to me like a bug in Octave.

I think that a solution could be
HAVE_GNULIB_STRERROR
which switches between both cases.

Can you please fix it in Octave?
