MATLAB: Building with 'Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 (C++)' error about matlab_baslercamdriver HOT 3 OPEN

Hi Andrè

This does indeed look strange. Can you try the following things to check where the error comes from:

1. Make sure that the MEX-compiler is set up correctly. Within MATLAB, type
   edit([matlabroot '/extern/examples/mex/mexcpp.cpp']);
   This will open a C++ example by MATLAB. Copy the content of this file to a new file, located in any folder you can write to, e.g. Desktop, your Documents folder,... Name the file e.g. test_mex.cpp. Now, navigate to that folder in MATLAB, and call the following command
   >> mex test_mex.cpp
   This should give the following output:

   Building with 'Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 (C++)'.
   MEX completed successfully.
   

   If this happens, then your compiler is set up correctly. You can verify that the compiled function works by calling
   >> mex_test(1, 2)
   which print some data, and not throw any errors.

2. Check all include paths. Open the make.m file, and run all code up to line 46, i.e. until lpaths = [...];. Then print the values ipaths and lpaths to the MATLAB console and check that all paths in there exist on your disk and "look" correct. I would expect the paths to look something like this:

   ipaths = ' -I"C:\program\Basler\pylon 4\include" -I"C:\program\Basler\pylon 4\genicam\library\CPP\Lib\win64_x64" -I"C:\boost_1_55_0" '
   lpaths = ' -L"C:\program\Basler\pylon 4\lib64" -L"C:\program\Basler\pylon 4\genicam\library\CPP\Lib\win64_x64" -L"C:\boost_1_55_0\lib64-msvc-10.0" '
   

   The paths can be a bit different - the important part is that all these paths exist and contain the relevant files.

Please let me know how this works out and if you find e.g. strange/bad paths in 2).

Hi Hannes,

wow thank you very much for that fast answer.
I will check this out on Monday next week, because unfortunatelly today i'm busy to some other tasks.
I will let you know what happends to your suggested steps. I'm very interested in getting this driver package running :).

All the best,

Hey,

I tried your recommended steps:

1. -> I created the C++ example as explained and compiled it with the Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 C++
   compiler via MATLAB command:
   mex -setup c++ to set the compiler and
   mex test_mex.cpp
   -> It gave me the following output which told me that the MEX-compiler is set correctly:
   Building with 'Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 (C++)'.
   MEX completed successfully.
   -> As soon i verified it with:
   mex_test(1, 2)
   i received the message:
   Undefined function or variable 'mex_test'.

2. The included paths in the variables "ipaths" and "lpaths" are existing and looking correct to me:
   ipaths =
   '-I"C:\Program Files\Basler\pylon 4\pylon\include" -I"C:\Program Files\Basler\pylon 4\genicam\library\CPP\include" -I"C:\boost_1_55_0"'

lpaths =
'-L"C:\Program Files\Basler\pylon 4\pylon\lib\x64" "C:\Program Files\Basler\pylon 4\genicam\library\CPP\Lib\win64_x64" "C:\boost_1_55_0\lib64-msvc-10.0"'

I tried both steps with MATLAB running in "normal" mode and as an administrator. I attached a screenshot of the make.m file i'm using and trying with ... maybe i made a mistake in this file during the whole testing.

All the best,
