Does this plugin work with any specific version of collectd?

Error:

root@ca151d987f52:~/collectd-mod-haproxy# make

The file is there, but probably in a different location:

root@ca151d987f52:/usr/lib# find /usr -iname 'collectd.h'
/usr/include/collectd/core/daemon/collectd.h

I've gotten this to compile by making the following changes, but since I'm not a C programmer, I'm a little skeptical or running the resulting .so file in production. Is it safe?

#include "collectd/core/daemon/collectd.h"
#include "collectd/core/daemon/common.h"
#include "collectd/core/daemon/plugin.h"
#include "collectd/core/daemon/configfile.h"
