Hi,
I'm having trouble installing NLOpt-2.3 on my Mac running OSX 10.7.5,
specifically the Matlab plugins.
I run the configure file with this command:
./configure --enable-shared MATLAB=/Applications/MATLAB_R2012a.app/matlab
MEX=/Applications/MATLAB_R2012a.app/bin/mex
And a critical line of the output reads:
checking for extension of compiled mex files... configure: WARNING:
/Applications/MATLAB_R2012a.app/bin/mex failed to compile a simple file; won't
compile Matlab plugin
Is there someone who might be able to help me work through this?
One test that I did is to find the lines in the configure.ac file which creates
the test file:
cat > conftest.c <<EOF
#include <mex.h>
void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[[]],
int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[[]]) { }
EOF
To test this, I created the conftest.c file manually with these contents, and
ran /Applications/MATLAB_R2012a.app/bin/mex on that file. This FAILED to
create a mex file. Next, I changed the text of conftest.c to
#include <mex.h>
void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[],
int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[]) { }
(note [[]] replaced by []) and ran /Applications/MATLAB_R2012a.app/bin/mex once
again. This SUCCEEDS in creating a mex file.
So the next thing I did was to change the configure.ac file to this effect, and
run autoconf to create a new configure script. I ran this again... to no
avail. I get the same error message as before.
Thanks for your help!
