CoinCheung opened a new pull request #9202: make c++ api deployment more clear V1.0.0
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/9202
 
 
   ## Description ##
   After compiling from the source, the c++ header files are spread among various directories. I have to pick them out and copy them to my /usr/local/include one by one.
   
   I pull the repository to my computer with git, then copy make/config.mk to the upper directory and modify some options in the /make/config.mk file. 
   ```
       $ cd mxnet
       $ cp -riv make/config.mk ./
   ```
   Then I compile with make:
   ```
       $ make
   ```
   after a few hours, the compilation is done. I copied the shared and static libs to my default lib directory, and copied the header files to my default include:
   ```
       $ cp lib/* /usr/local/lib
       $ cp include/ /usr/local/include
   ```
   Then I go to the c++ example directory and download the example data:
   ```
       $ cd cpp-package/example
       $ ./get_mnist.sh
   ```
   I typed the example program given in the page https://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/tutorials/c++/basics.html
   
   but my g++ complains that no header files found:
   ```
   fatal error: mxnet-cpp/MxNetCpp.h: No such file or directory
    #include<mxnet-cpp/MxNetCpp.h>
   ```
   I found it in the directory '/home/coin/build/mxnet/cpp-package/include/mxnet-cpp' and I copied it to my /usr/local/include, and then recompile the example, another header file missing error appears:
   ```
    fatal error: nnvm/c_api.h: No such file or directory
    #include "nnvm/c_api.h"
   ```
   After that I spent quite a few minutes to pick the required header files from the directories to my include paths.  
   
   Do you have any measures to generate the c++ api header files in a single folder and allow me to copy it to my include directory with one clean effort? Or did I misunderstand your intention of the c++ api?
