SWIG Syntax Error

I'm trying to compile some SWIG bindings from a wireless communications library (http://www.yonch.com/wireless) that also uses the IT++ library. I am using SWIG version 2.0.11 on Ubuntu 14.04.

This is the error I am getting when trying to build:

/usr/include/itpp/base/binary.h:162: Error: Syntax error in input(1)

Here is line 162 from binary.h:

ITPP_EXPORT std::ostream &operator<<(std::ostream &output, const bin &inbin);

If the rest of that file is needed it can be found here: http://montecristo.co.it.pt/itpp/binary_8h_source.html

This is the SWIG command line call that is being used:

/usr/bin/swig -c++ -python -I/home/user/anaconda/include/python2.7 -I../../../include -I/usr/include -I../../../bindings/itpp -I../../../bindings/itpp/.. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -o base_sparse.cpp ../../../bindings/itpp/base_sparse.i

I have almost no experience with SWIG and can't seem to see what about the code would be causing that syntax error. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Exports are not understood by SWIG

I usually add a

#define ITPP_EXPORT

in your .i file after the inclusion of the C/C++ headers and before you include them using

%include "Someheader.h"
