LNK2019 error when using mex

Hello,

I'm trying to compile an old program to have it working with the 64bit matlab version we have.

It used to create a dll, but I suppose it should create a .mexw64 now.

I've got multiple LNK2019 errors and I can't find a solution.

I think I linked correctly all the needed libraries, even forced it manually with the following command:

mex -v -IE:\Jeremie\MATLAB\Maria\algorithme_versionC\tdelay\tdelay_3D tdelay_3D.cpp  libfftw3-3.lib libfftw3f-3.lib

But I always receive this message. Does anyone have a clue?

Regards

Jeremie

Should you need to specify the location of the two static libraries? Also, you may need to use the -l option to specify libraries:

>> mex -v -IE:\Jeremie\MATLAB\Maria\algorithme_versionC\tdelay\tdelay_3D tdelay_3D.cpp -llibfftw3-3.lib -llibfftw3f-3.lib

Hello,

Well my question was partly answered so I might to an update if it can help later.

1) I had a copy of libfftw3-3.lib in another folder, which was probably read during my compilation, I suspect it was the 32 bit version of the library

2) In the c++ code I replace the line #include fftw3.h by #include "fftw3.h". Apparently that was the big deal.

3) I executed the following command : mex -v tdelay_3D.cpp -llibfftw3-3 -L"Folder_where_libfftw3-3_is"
