get problem of mexing the c file

[bruce803]

Hi,
It seems that the install didn't work for me.
My Matlab version is 2014a and the default compiler (Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 ) is compatible.

But I have been reported:

install
Building diagsqmex MEX file.
Warning: Legacy MEX infrastructure is provided for compatibility; it will be removed in a future version of MATLAB.
For more information, consult the MEX release notes http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/release-notes.html.

doublevectormex.c

C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2014A\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: Compile of 'doublevectormex.c' failed.

Unable to complete successfully.

Error in install (line 13)
eval(['mex ',opts,' diagsqmex.c doublevectormex.c singlematrixmex.c ',...

Can you please add -v to the opts in the install.m script, and re-run it? I need more information to figure out what the problem might be. Thanks.

I got this:

Actually, the mex works after I switched to Ubuntu with Matlab2016a. Does that mean the problem of compiler setup in Windows?

I'm glad to hear it works with Ubuntu. :)

I see it is using the "cl" compiler, which I'm not familiar with. In fact, I have little experience with compiling MEX files on Windows. Before trying to solve this problem for the varbvs package, you might first see if you can compile the MEX files in the tutorials given on the MathWorks website.
