[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41027] config.h is too generic

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #41027 (project octave):

The autotools FAX mentions two possible solutions.  The more braindead
solution seems to be to give the config file and all #defines unique names so
that the conflict with an existing config.h file or its #defines is removed.

There is a macro to help implement that: AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_prefix_config_h.html).

It would involve a lot of search and replace operations (Perl!), but is
otherwise easy to implement.  The first alternative looks harder in that you
have to think carefully about how to make exportable header files which don't
rely on config.h
