Problems with compiling DLL (deploy tool)

Hi, I'm trying to compile a DLL using Matlab Deploytool, but everytime it occours the same error: Error: An error occurred while shelling out to mbuild (error code = 9). Which type of error is it? How can I fix it? Did Deploytool not accept any specific code structure ?

Thanks so much

midl\oleaut32.dll : error MIDL2020 : error generating type library : SetFuncAndParamNames failed : get_t (0x8002802C)
C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2012A\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: IDL compile of 'D:\IPROCESS\Acciaieria Beltrame\_mat_m - rev3 - SdS su billetta - Movicon_prove\Untitled1\src\Untitled1_idl.idl' failed.
Error: An error occurred while shelling out to mbuild (error code = 9).
Unable to build executable.

[Friedrich]

So the actual error is:

" error MIDL2020 : error generating type library : SetFuncAndParamNames failed : get_t (0x8002802C)"

Can you compile a simple hello world example or does that also result in the same error?

[Sonia]

I tried it now, the build finished with no error...another thing, if I compile the DLL as COM object, build failed, but if I compile the same DLL as .NET object, build finished with no error...

[Friedrich]

Can you try running MATLAB as administrator and try again building the COM DLL?

[Sonia]

MATLAB is just running as administrator...There might be an error in the code?Project consists of 7 mfiles, and I use 11 global variables..

[Friedrich]

It could be that the intermediate code which is generated is wrong at some point. The SetFuncAndParamNames function takes care of setting the function name and parameters. So it seems like the get_t function (which is most likely generated automatically) is not correct. Is the intermediate code preserved (should be in the src subfolder)?If so, can you share the generated code?

[Sonia]

The src subfolder is empty...

[Friedrich]

So we need to block the files to prevent getting them deleted by MATLAB. In such a case I do this:

files_opened = {};
folder = 'D:\IPROCESS\Acciaieria Beltrame\_mat_m - rev3 - SdS su billetta - Movicon_prove\Untitled1\src\';

while 1
    files = dir(folder);
    for i=1:numel(files)
        if ~files(i).isdir && ~ismember(files(i).name,files_opened)
            fopen(fullfile(folder,files(i).name),'r');
            files_opened{end+1} = files(i).name;
        end 
    end
end

%later after error press CTRL+C and run a fclose('all')

This should prevent that all generated files get deleted after the error.

So start compiling, then run that above code immediatly after you started the compilation process and wait for the build process to error out.
