Matlab MEX Compiler Problem

[agaz1985]

I'm developing a MatLab toolbox about stereopsis, In order to compute the disparity map given two stereo images I need to use the Birchfield-Tomasi algorithm included in the OpenCV libraries. I have created a folder with all header files needed to compile the cvdpstereo.cpp file, but when I try to run the MEX compiler an error occurs :

>> mex cvdpstereo.cpp
Error cvdpstereo.cpp: .\cxtypes.h: 300 compiler error in _kids--Bad rule number 0

C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2007\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: Compile of 'cvdpstereo.cpp' failed.

??? Error using ==> mex at 206
Unable to complete successfully.


Can anyone help me please?

I'm confused. The Matlab compiler is C, not C++

Given the "\" directory separator this is Windoze. That means MEX may use one of many compilers (Borland, Watcom, Intel, MSVC++, lcc, ...). If it's MSVC++ then C++ source code can be used. If lcc, only C can be used. Unfortunately I can't comment on any of the others.

(I don't see the relevance of "The Matlab compiler" though in the context of building MEX files.)

Sorry, but I'm newbie about MEX-File so I tried to compile the cvdpstereocorrisp.ccp directly :S Reading the documentation about mex files I have solved the problem writing a C file containing the mexFuction(...) instead of main(...),calling cvdpstereocorrisp function in MEX-File and compiling all via Visual C++ IDE (not via Matlab). Now all works perfectly, I have my MEX file that computes the disparity map. Thanks for yours suggests !!!!

Matlab has a built-in compiler, lcc, which is the default. You have to specifically change the settings to use a different compiler.
