====== How to Compile MATLAB Mex Files ======


===== general guidelines =====

In MATLAB: <code matlab>cd stprtoolbox_path
stprpath
compilemex
% when compilemex complains about missing compiler run mex -setup and then compilemex again
</code>

If you are not successful, do not hesitate to contact us in the student forum. Please post output of the MATLAB ''ver'' command.

===== OS X =====
  - Install Xcode https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12
  - Install Command line tools in XCode ''Preferences -> Downloads -> Command line tools'' {{courses:ae4b33rpz:labs:08_svm:xcode_preferences.jpg|}}
  - Solve this bug: http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-FR6LXJ/
  - Comment out lines 144-145 in ''stprtool/compilemex.m'' <code matlab>
elseif strncmp(cname,'MAC',3)
%   p = strrep(p,':',':;');
%   p = strrep(p,'/',':');
</code>
  - In MATLAB <code matlab>
cd stprtool_path/
compilemex('../stprtool')
</code>

Command output should look like:
<code>
