matlab2r

v0.1.0-proto

matlab2r attempts to be a fully-featured transpiler, from the MATLAB language to the R language. It is currently a work in progress.

Building

The matlab2r project uses the CMake build system. This project also uses C++14, so make sure your compiler supports the C++14 standard. clang 3.4 or greater, and gcc 4.9 or greater should both compile this project OK.

Dependencies

Make sure that these are in a place that CMake can find them.

• Flex
• Bison
• Boost (I use 1.60, but only for filesystem utilities. Most versions should work fine.)

Under Linux

1. Make a directory called "build" in the project root.
2. Open a terminal and navigate to the build directory.
3. Run cmake ... Hopefully everything will work.
   • Note: By default, the CMake project builds with a Git commit hash baked in. If you don't want this, pass -DUSE_GIT_VERSIONING=0 to your CMake command.
4. Run make. Optionally, if you have some extra CPU cycles to spare, you can run make -jX, where X is the number of jobs you want to run simultaneously.

Provided that make succeeded, there should be a matlab2r executable in the build directory. Yay!

Under Windows with Visual Studio
