Unhandled Julia exception: LoadError #16

Closed e-arnold closed 8 years ago

e-arnold commented 8 years ago

Hi, I'm running Matlab 2015b 64-Bit on Windows 7 with MinGW64 gcc and Julia 0.5.0 Jl.build builds mexjulia.mexw64 as expected But boot.jl is not loaded.

Jl.eval('2+2') Error using mexjulia Unhandled Julia exception: LoadError

Error in Jl.check_init (line 55) mexjulia(0, ['include("' boot_file '")']); ...

Jl.eval('2+2') Error using mexjulia Function not found.

Errors loading the boot file are inherently opaque, unfortnately, as all of the nice error reporting rely on it having completed successfully.

The thing I would typically do in this case is to open up a julia prompt and and include("boot.jl") there. I would hope you might get some more meaningful error in that case.

e-arnold commented 8 years ago

Yes, the problem seems to come from MATLAB.jl Uint vs. UInt etc

Oh, I forgot. It currently only works with MATLAB.jl master. The workaround is to execute:

julia> Pkg.checkout("MATLAB")

The short term fix is to add this command to the build script. The longer term fix, I think, is to steal the data marshaling code that mexjulia depends on from MATLAB.jl and bring it in locally.

Everything works fine with MATLAB.jl master. Thank you very much.

@e-arnold thanks for testing!
