Mex file from multiple sources

I have two C codes. First one is the main code and the second one is for the initial arrangements, the calling of the main code and printing of the results. I want to convert this to mex file and access it from MATLAB. How should I convert them so that I can access to both functions?

Thanks.

You can compile them together:

mex -O main.c printing.c

Then you can access the main function only. Either you include a wrapper in the mexFunction(), which forward calls to the subfunctions e.g. triggered by the first input. Or you compile two functions:

mex -O main.c
mex -O printing.c

Then you can call the printing lib directly from Matlab or through mexCallMATLAB from the main.mex function. There is an undocumented function mexRunMexFile also, but I'd hesitate to use it.
