Issue in MATLAB compilation #24

Closed earthat closed 2 years ago

earthat commented 5 years ago

Hi I have been trying to install this on windows platform in MATLAB 2018a. After building successfully using mingw32, matlab_compile.m shows error MEX cannot find library 'bayesopt' specified with the -l option. MEX looks for a file with one of the names: libbayesopt.lib bayesopt.lib Please specify the path to this library with the -L option.

The lib files generated after building the source code are located in build/lib however they have extension of libbayesopt.a and libnlopt.a. The MATLAB are looking for .lib files. How can this issue be resolved.

Static libraries in Windows usually end in .lib. You should not have .a files. Anyway, the simplest fix would be to edit matlab_compile.m to point to the correct file path.
