fastmarchmex for geodesic crash

[AmmonZ]

In several versions of MATLAB, fastmarchmex.mexw64 cannot be used, which will cause matlab to crash and unable to restore the calculation of Geodesic. Can the author share how to solve this problem

Hey, I know the issue is old, but I've been testing the code on my side, and it appears simply that mex files can't be used in windows 10 (there is workarounds, but they appear to not be compatible with w10 last version). You'll need to run the code on linux or on windows 8/7 if you want to compute the distance matrices for this problem. Hope this will serve somebody!

can confirm MATLAB also crashes on the geodesic calculation on OS X 10.15

It runs on a Win10+R2019b+GPU desktop machine but crashes on a Win10+R2021b/R2019b+integrated GPU laptop.

I found that for the crashes, the reason is that I follow the readme:

Start MATLAB and do the following:
cd <NEUROMORPH_ROOT>/data_preprocessing
preprocess_dataset("../data/meshes/FAUST_r/", ".off")

It will crash like this:

But when I do this:

double click the ''preprocess_dataset.m" to start the matlab.
do not use 'cd xxx'
then right click the utils folder to add to matlab path

and then copy and paste 'preprocess_dataset("../data/meshes/FAUST_r/", ".off")' to matlab command line and click enter.
Then it can run normally:
