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:
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');
