MATLAB: Unable to compile using “mex fmpc_sim.c libmwblas.lib libmwlapack.lib” undefined reference to ‘_dgemm_’

compilercontrolerrorMATLAB and Simulink Student SuiteMATLAB Compilermexmex compileroptimization

I am having the exact same problem as https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/172057-error-using-mex-line-206-unable-to-complete-successfully
I installed matlab2011a (32 bit) in windows10 (64bit).
I tried to install Fast Model Predictive Control Using Online Optimization from http://stanford.edu/~boyd/fast_mpc/ which contain a Mex solver. During the setup step, I am supposed to compile a c file fmpc.c using
mex fmpc_sim.c libmwblas.lib libmwlapack.lib
But for whatever reason, it says there are a bunch of undefined references. I have followed the instructed nearly exactly as stated, what could be going wrong? How do I solve this reference error?

Welcome to mex -setup.  This utility will help you set up  
a default compiler.  For a list of supported compilers, see  
http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2011a/win32.html 
Please choose your compiler for building MEX-files: 
Would you like mex to locate installed compilers [y]/n? y
Select a compiler: 
[1] Lcc-win32 C 2.4.1 in C:\PROGRA~2\MATLAB\R2011A~1\sys\lcc 
[0] None 
Compiler: 1
Please verify your choices: 
Compiler: Lcc-win32 C 2.4.1

           you will be required to update your code to utilize the new 
           API. You can find more information about this at:

Installation instructions for fast_mpc ———————————————————————–
fast_mpc is written in C with a mex interface to MATLAB. Before installation, make sure that BLAS and LAPACK libraries are installed in your machine.
1. Unpack the fast_mpc files, or get them individually.
2. Start MATLAB and cd to the directory containing the source files.
3. At the MATLAB command prompt type
        >> mex -setup
   and enter the number corresponding to the template option gccopts.sh.
4. Compile fmpc_sim.c using
        >> mex fmpc_sim.c
   On some machines you may need to specify the libraries
        >> mex fmpc_sim.c -lblas -llapack
   If you want to link your own libraries, you can. For example,
   to link the libraries libacml.a, libacml_mv.a, and libgfortran.a 
   in the directory /opt/acml/lib, use the option '-L' to specify the 
   library search path and the option '-l' to specify the individual 
   libraries, as in
       >> mex fmpc_sim.c -L/opt/acml/lib -lacml -lacml_mv -lgfortran
5. If fmpc_sim.c compiles successfully, do the same with fmpc_step.c.
6. Test the installation by running the masses_example script
       >> masses_example
   which will run MPC, for 100 iterations, on the masses example in the paper,
   using mpc_step.  You should see reports from each iteration printed to your 
   screen. The last one, for example, should look like
 iteration       step            rd                      rp
    0            0.3874          1.09294e+01             1.27108e+00
    1            1.0000          1.54052e+00             1.39748e-14
    2            1.0000          2.98332e-01             1.40216e-15
    3            1.0000          1.16741e-02             1.02482e-15
The average cost is: 5.683200
   Test mpc_sim by running the script randsys_example.

Best Answer

mex -Ddgemm_=dgemm fmpc_sim.c -lmwblas -lmwlapack
or
mex -D_dgemm=dgemm fmpc_sim.c -lmwblas -lmwlapack
depending which side the underscore is showing up on. Repeat similar -D for the other symbols.
