How do I create a C++ Shared Object using MATLAB 2017b (i.e. 9.3)?

I am trying to compile a MATLAB script as a shared object on Ubuntu with MATLAB 2017b installed and 9.3 of the run-time as well. I followed the instruction here . But I get an error telling me that matlab.h is missing. I cannot find that file when searching for it manually. I also cannot resolve the errors I get if a do not include matlab.h.

Please point me to an updated set of instructions or let me know how to otherwise resolve this issue.

I have MATLAB, the runtime and the compiler installed on Windows as well. I did not find matlab.h there either. I pasted the error I get below:
