Mex and compiler setting
How to set up mex compiler on a 64-bit Matlab using Visual Studio 2008 Professional
- Go to http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectId=18508&objectType=file and copy the x64 mex option files under the MATLABROOT\bin\win64\mexopts.
- Do a mex -setup. Let Matlab locate the installed compiler. Select "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008".
- Use mex command to compile a simple file. You get the following error
C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2007B\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: Using options file: C:\Users\deancool\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2007b\mexopts.bat You cannot use this file with the WIN64 architecture because it enables a compiler for a different architecture. Running mex -setup may resolve this problem.
To fix this error:
- Locate your mexopts.bat file. Edit the following lines:
- Line 17 (set PATH): add '\amd64' after set PATH=%VCINSTALLDIR%\BIN\
- Line 19 (set LIB): add '\amd64' after set LIB=%VCINSTALLDIR%\ATLMFC\LIB and %VCINSTALLDIR%\LIB. Add '\x64' after C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\lib
- Line 20: set MW_TARGET_ARCH=win64
- Line 34: set LIBLOC=%MATLAB%\extern\lib\win64\microsoft
- Line 36: /MACHINE:X64
