ilib_mex_build

utility for mex library management

Calling Sequence

ilib_mex_build(lib_name,table,files,libs [,makename,ldflags,cflags,fflags,cc])

Arguments

:lib_name a character string, the generic name of the library without

path and extension.

: :table 3 column string matrix giving the table of ‘scilab-name’,

‘interface name’, ‘cmex’ or ‘fmex’

: :files string matrix giving objects files needed for shared library

creation

: :libs string matrix giving extra libraries needed for shared library

creation

: :makename character string. The path of the Makefile file without

extension. This parameter is useless since Scilab 5.0. Default value to use: []. A warning will be displayed in Scilab 5.3 if you use another value that the default.

: :ldflags,cflags,fflags,cc character strings to provide options/flags

for the loader, the C compiler, the Fortran compiler. cc provides the name of the compiler.

Description

This function is used to create mex libraries and to generate a loader file which can be used to dynamically load the mex shared library.

Note that the file name containing the mex code can be set in the third input argument ( files) or the second value of the table input argument.

Note that a compiler must be available on the system to use this function.

Examples

`cd`_(TMPDIR);

`mputl`_(['#include ""mex.h""'
       'void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[], int nrhs, mxArray *prhs[])'
       '{'
       '  int *dims = mxGetDimensions(prhs[0]);'
       '  sciprint(""%d %d %d\n"",dims[0],dims[1],dims[2]);'
       '}'],'mexfunction16.c');
ilib_mex_build('libmex',['mexf16','mexfunction16','cmex'],[],[],'','','','');

`exec`_(TMPDIR+'/loader.sce');
mexf16(`rand`_(2,3,2));
