MATLAB: Is the libmwlapack.lib library missing in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1)

blasdigitallcclibmwlapack.libMATLABmexmsvc

The libmwlapack.lib library was located in the:
 $MATLAB\extern\lib\win32\lcc
 $MATLAB\extern\lib\win32\microsoft\msvc60
 \MATLAB6p5p1\extern\lib\win32\digital\df60
directories in MATLAB 6.5.1 (R13SP1) and MATLAB 7.0 (R14), where $MATLAB is the MATLAB root directory. However, in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1) it is located only in:
 $MATLAB\extern\lib\win32\lcc
I am unable to use the MSVC compiler to compile a MEX-file that uses the BLAS functions without this library.

Best Answer

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 2 (R14SP2). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:
There is a bug in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1) that causes the libmwlapack.lib library to not be included in the directories for some compilers. This library is included only in the following directory:
 $MATLAB\extern\lib\win32\lcc
To work around this issue, use the LCC compiler that is included with MATLAB to compile MEX-files that use BLAS functions.
