Why cant i loadlibrary with relative paths

6 views (last 30 days)
hi, I want to load a library which in turn uses other headers so I put them in includepath option, but if at all I try to give the relative path, it wont find it. Also when the the function loadlibrary is run, which directory does it run in, the current working directory or matlab has a specific directory where it runs, like in windows. If this is the case then obviously the relative path wont work. Below is the code I try which works when I give the full path but does not when its relative.
[notfound, warnings] = loadlibrary('libfile', 'libfile.h', 'includepath', 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include'...
, 'includepath', 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Include'...
, 'includepath', '.\MyFolder\inc');

Loadlibrary runs from a freshly created temporary directory so relative paths will not work as include paths.
To build an include path use fullfile(cd,'MyFolder\inc')
