SPM/SPM12 MEX Compilation on Windows

Compilation of SPM12 on Windows 10 This page describes the compilation of SPM12 MEX files on Windows 10 with MATLAB R2018b (9.5) and MSYS2 MinGW-w64 GCC. If you use other versions of MATLAB and/or compiler, make sure that they are compatible: Supported compilers Installation of MSYS2/MinGW-w64 Download and install MSYS2 from: https://www.msys2.org/ in directory C:\msys64. Then, from MSYS2, type: pacman -Syu pacman -Su pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain Configuration of MATLAB compilation environment Start MATLAB and type: >> setenv('MW_MINGW64_LOC', 'C:\msys64\mingw64') >> mex -setup MEX configured to use 'MinGW64 Compiler (C)' for C language compilation. Do not worry if there is a warning: Warning: The MATLAB C and Fortran API has changed to support MATLAB ... Compilation In MSYS2, move to the SPM12 source directory with $ cd /c/Documents and Settings/login/Documents/MATLAB/spm12/src then set the PATH appropriately $ PATH=/c/Program\ Files/MATLAB/R2018b/bin/win64:${PATH} $ export MW_MINGW64_LOC=/c/msys64/mingw64/ $ PATH=/c/msys64/mingw64/bin/:${PATH} and then type the following to start the compilation process $ make distclean $ make && make install $ make external-distclean $ make external && make external-install Notes for compilation with MSYS2 for Octave Install mingw-w64-octave $ pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-octave then start Octave with: $ /mingw64/bin/octave --gui and compile with: $ cd('/c/Documents and Settings/<login>/Documents/MATLAB/spm12/src'); $ system('make distclean PLATFORM=octave'); $ system('make PLATFORM=octave && make install PLATFORM=octave'); $ system('make external-distclean PLATFORM=octave'); $ system('make external PLATFORM=octave && make external-install PLATFORM=octave');
