Compile C++ for Unix environment

Sirs, I have some C++ code that is currently compiled to operate within Matlab in a Windows environment (Mex'ed).

I wish to run the Matlab code within a Unix environment, which means re-compiling the C++ code.

Can I re-compile the code within a Windows environment so that it works on Unix? Or do I need to use Matlab on a Linux machine to compile the code?

kind regards W

Save yourself a world of hurt and recompile in Linux.

Hi Jose-Luis, yes, I think that is inevitable, but thought there might be a way around it without the need to getting a linux environment installed! Thanks, W

You would have to install a Windows emulator on the Linux system.

If you wish to run the Matlab code within a Unix environment then you will have to compile it on a Linux machine. Compiling on a Windows machine will not work in this case.

Take a look at the Tips section in the following link which talks about platform specific extensions for mex. https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/mex.html?searchHighlight=mex&s_tid=doc_srchtitle#moreabout
