Unable to compile Clothoids Toolbox

[garywu123]

Hey. I found an issue when I was trying to compile the toolbox.

So I downloaded the toolbox from the link and type CompileClothoidsLib in the Command Window. However, When it executed on File rang.cc it throws an exception about FileNameInfo is not in the scope.

Below is the exception details:

Error using mex
C:\Users\...\MathWorks\MATLAB Add-Ons\Collections\ebertolazzi_Clothoids\toolbox\src\rang.cc: In function
'bool rang::rang_implementation::isMsysPty(int)':

                                                                               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

       if ( !ptrGetFileInformationByHandleEx( h, &FileNameInfo, pNameInfo.get(), sizeof(MY_FILE_NAME_INFO)) ) return false;
                                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~

Is there something that I missed? Thanks for your help.

Probably you use mingw on MATLAB and not Visual Studio. Now with the version 2.0.8 I added some workaround to compile with mingw.
