Help with linking with mex

Hello,

I have windows 7 64bit with VS2010 installed with Intel visual fortran 12.0 and matlab 2011b. I ran the mex -setup and configured matlab to work with my fortran version. However, when I try to compile any of the included examples (e.g. timestwo.F) I receive:

mex timestwo.F

'link' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2011B\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: Link of 'timestwo.mexw64' failed.

Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it?

Hi Elad,

as far as I remember, the Intel compiler uses the visual studio linker. Perhaps posting the output of "mex -v timestwo.F" would help to find out the problem.

Elad,

The MEX options file for Intel Fortran Composer XE 2011 with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 professional linker points to the wrong installation directory in 64-bit MATLAB 7.13 (R2011b).

Workaround: Edit the intelf12msvs2010opts.bat file:

1. Open $MATLABROOT$\bin\win64\mexopts\intelf12msvs2010opts.bat

2. Edit line 22. Change:

set VSINSTALLDIR=%VS90COMNTOOLS%\..\..

to

set VSINSTALLDIR=%VS100COMNTOOLS%\..\..

3. Save the file

4. Run mex -setup again.
