mex - including external object or lib fails

Hello,

im trying to compile a simple c code with mex. In principle this works with:

mex MyCore.c

but if i add a function call tests() in the c file which is defined in a external object file than i run into problems.

versuch.c :

void tests(void){ }

versuch.h:

void tests(void);

and compiling it external with gcc: gcc -c -o versuch.o versuch.c

works so far...

but if i try to add generated object file on Matlab:

mex MyCore.c versuch.o

i get:

*_File versuch.o contains unknown section /4

.text section assumed

File versuch.o contains unknown section /15.

.text section assumed

Relocation out of range!

Link failed. Removing MyCore.mexw32_*

I would prefer to include an external lib but this also wont work

with: ar rcs libversuch.a versuch.o

but there seems to be no way to include an ".s" file into mex... it always is looking for a lib file

In the end i will egt a lib file "libTarget.lib"

I tried to include that one by:

mex MyCore.c -L. -llibTarget

by there I also get:

|File libTarget.lib contains unknown section /4.

.text section assumed

File libTarget.lib contains unknown section /15.

.text section assumed

Relocation out of range!

Link failed. Removing MyCore.mexw32|

mex seems to expect a special format in libs .. but is there no way to include external libs to my c-mex file?

Please help THX! Tobi

Just for clarification: are you using gcc on a Windows machine? Why not use the lcc that comes with MATLAB?

normally i will get the library from third party.. that is most likely compiled with gcc then.
