Mex, *.cpp not found

Hi,

I am new to the mex stuff, dont know much about it. I tried compiling a cpp file and got a error.

 mex estpab.cpp

C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2011A\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: 'estpab.cpp' not found.

??? Error using ==> mex at 208 Unable to complete successfully.

I have the cpp file in the folder that is added to the matlabpath. I dont know where I am supposed to place the file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I believe that it is not sufficient that the folder be on the path: I believe you need to be cd()'d to the folder if you do not give the full path to the file.

have the same problem ? what is cd()'d ? Walid

cd() is "change current directory"; see http://www.mathworks.com/help/techdoc/ref/cd.html
