Question

I'm trying to get engdemo.cpp to work in Matlab (2013a) in Mountain Lion.I referred Matlab's tutorial but could not reach the point of getting any of the engine functions to work in Matlab.

Answer 1

Please follow the below steps to execute "engdemo.cpp" in MAC terminal:

You must execute these commands with admin/root privilege from the folder where engdemo.cpp is located in your system.

1. Adding MATLAB’s path (use either setenv or export) to the environment variable path:

$ export PATH='/Applications/MATLAB_R2013a.app/bin':$PATH
$ echo $PATH (verify it is added)

2. Setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

$ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH='/Applications/MATLAB_R2013a.app/bin/maci64:/Applications/MATLAB_R2013a.app/sys/os/maci64':$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
$echo $ DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

3. Compiling engdemo.cpp

g++ -o engdemo_terminal engdemo.cpp -I/Applications/MATLAB_R2013a.app/extern/include/ -L/Applications/MATLAB_R2013a.app/bin/maci64 -leng -lmx -lm -lmat -lut -lstdc++

4. Execute it

$ ./engdemo_terminal
