Calling MATLAB from FORTRAN

Vernal — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 22:34:29 -0500

I am trying call MATLAB from FORTRAN to plot data. I am using MSVS
2008 with Intel FORTRAN 10.1.024. My question is what files, modules,
or libraries need to be included in the FORTRAN project to recognize
the MATLAB engine functions (e.g. engOpen, engEvalString, etc...) Any
help would be appreciated.

Be sure to have this line at the top of your code (curiously missing from the doc descriptions of the Fortran API functions):

#include "fintrf.h"

Then just follow the instructions for compiling an engine app using the mex command. You don't need to manually include anything for the eng functions, the mex command will link it in for you.
