Details:

Initially, it was not possible to compile database-1.0.4 
I was running Debian|Wheezy packages, but see later text. 

I still have some problems, and have not yet tested whether 
the package as compiled works with octave pkg, so this is still a 
work in progress. 

I have mysql on this system, the report says mysql.h is not found, 
so that is on my ToDo list. 

I also have postgresql and sqlite3 - these get compiled into the 
package. the work needed is described below. 


patch sqlite3_filtered.h
-int sqlite3_auto_extension(void *xEntryPoint);
+int sqlite3_auto_extension(void (*xEntryPoint)(void));


Then, in /database-1.0.4/src run 

swig -c++ -octave sqlite3.i
swig -c++ -octave postgres.i
mv postgres_wrap.cxx postgres_wrap.cpp
mv sqlite3_wrap.cxx sqlite3_wrap.cpp


patch postgres_wrap.cpp and sqlite3_wrap.cpp with this 

 #define SWIG_OCT_SEGF_HACK_ATEXIT_FCN(NAME)
_SWIG_OCT_SEGF_HACK_ATEXIT_FCN(NAME)
+#include <cstdlib>
 void SWIG_OCT_SEGF_HACK_ATEXIT_FCN(SWIG_name)(void) {
-  _exit(exit_status);
+  _Exit(exit_status);
 }
 #endif


I need a workaround because of this error 

sqlite3_wrap.cpp: In function ‘octave_value_list
_wrap_sqlite3_vmprintf(const octave_value_list&, int)’:
sqlite3_wrap.cpp:2943:34: error: invalid array assignment


I do not sqlite3 at this time so comment out the problem 

      /*      arg2 = *((va_list *)(argp2));    # fixme - ral */


To get this to compile, I had to install 
liboctave-3.2.4 - it was the nearest I had to the version of 
the database package. 

./autogen.sh
./configure
 make


I had earlier tried liboctave-dev_3.6.2-2_amd64.deb but it 
failed with this error: 

In file included from /usr/include/octave-3.6.2/octave/../octave/oct.h:31:0,
                 from postgres_wrap.cpp:153:
/usr/include/octave-3.6.2/octave/../octave/config.h:3052:25: error: multiple
types in one declaration
/usr/include/octave-3.6.2/octave/../octave/config.h:3052:25: error:
declaration does not declare anything [-fpermissive]


To try to determine the cause of the error, I replaced 
the /octave-3.6.2/octave directory with that from 
octave-3.2.4/octave, confirmed that that compiled, and began 
replacing the old files with new. When all the files were 
copied across, the package again compiled. 

When I revert back to /octave-3.6.2/octave, the error returns. 

I attach two gzipped files : 
octave - this is the vanilla /octave-3.6.2/octave it fails. 
octave.one - this is the /octave-3.6.2/octave with some old files. it
compiles. 

ToDo - test the compiled package with octave and pkg ;-)
