How to Compile MATLAB Mex Files

In MATLAB:

cd stprtoolbox_path
stprpath
compilemex
% when compilemex complains about missing compiler run mex -setup and then compilemex again

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

1. Install Xcode https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12
2. Install Command line tools in XCode Preferences → Downloads → Command line tools
3. Solve this bug: http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-FR6LXJ/
4. Comment out lines 144-145 in stprtool/compilemex.m

   elseif strncmp(cname,'MAC',3)
   %   p = strrep(p,':',':;');
   %   p = strrep(p,'/',':');

5. In MATLAB

   cd stprtool_path/
   compilemex('../stprtool')

Command output should look like:
