Compiling mex files - Fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdint.h': No such file or directory

I've got an old mex file to run on my laptop and I got an error as in the title: Fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdint.h': No such file or directory. Mex is working without problem on another computer. I'm using 64-bit computer and 64-bit Matlab R2012b. To compile I have VS 2005. I've tried to change to VS 2010, but I've got more errors (four LNK2019). I was looking how to solve my problem, but nothing helps. I've stuck with it for 4 days.

I have a stdint.h file in folder with all files from project and on the path - doesn't work.

I've tried to show the location of the files as:

mex -l"C:\Users\Maria\Folder_with_project" mex_file.cpp

also:

mex -l"C:\Users\Maria\Folder_with_project\stdint.h" mex_file.cpp

I've tried also with -I (upper-version I) as includes.

In all cases there was the same error. Does anybody has any idea how to solve it?

Have you tried

 mex -setup

[Maria Baczewska]

I've done mex -setup, I choosed the compiler as VS 2005

[Walter Roberson]

Include directories should be indicated with -I which is upper-case letter I. -l (lower-case letter L) would be for individual library files, and -L (upper-case letter L) would be for naming library directories.

Please show us the output of

 mex -v -I"C:\Users\Maria\Folder_with_project" mex_file.cpp

Error using mex (line 206)

I don't know why the middle of the output looks so strange, it looks diffrently in matlab, but maybe copy/paste did it.

[José-Luis]

Is it the same version of Matlab in both computers? Are both versions 64bits? Did you use the same compiler on both?

[Maria Baczewska]

Matlabs are the same, both 64bits, but we have different compilers. I have VS 2010, he - VS 2012.

[Walter Roberson]

Those error messages are consistent with not having linked against a Measurement Computing cbw64.dll . You may need to add a -L option naming the directory it is in, and using -lcbw64 (lower-case L there)

[Maria Baczewska]

There is still the same error :(

Any other ideas how to solve it?

[Walter Roberson]

Maria commented to my solution:

This solution works!! Thank you!

[Walter Roberson]

The "There is still the same error" response was caused by having omitted the -I parameter that had been described earlier. Both the -I and -L and -l are needed.

Answer 1

[Maria Baczewska]

I use the solution as Walter Roberson wrote.

I compile a mex file using firstly -lcbw64 (lower case of L) and then location of the cbw64.dll file with -L.

mex -lcbw64 -L"location_of_cbw64.dll" mex_filename
