I'm compiling a C file (part of voc-release library) with Matlab and I'm getting the error below. I can't seem to solve it. Could anyone tell me what causes this error and what I can do about it?
mex -O features.cc
Writing library for features.mexw32
c:\users\safaa\appdata\local\temp\mex_ty~1\features.obj .text: undefined reference to '_round'
C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2009A\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: Link of 'features.mexw32' failed.
If you had included more of the error message, I believe that this would have
already been answered, just an FYI. It looks like you're compiling a file
from some non-matlab source, which is fine, but you're likely going to have to
give more information about it. It appears that the features.cc file is
referencing a symbol round which is why you're getting the error. You'll need
to provide the library for the function, or compile it from source. If you do
a help mex, it should be able to give you information about the library linker
commands -L for the path and -l for the library. I seem to remember that
this feature doesn't work exactly as advertised, and requires you to use
-lC:/path/to/library/libfile.lib, or whatever. First of all, I would recommend
compiling the yprime example from the Matlab help. This will ensure that you
have your compiler setup correctly, which it sounds likel you do. Also, take a
look at the yprime.c file and the mexFunction. You may want to make sure the
compiler will accept a .cc file as a C file. It may interpret it as a C++
file which will cause you more headaches. You could rename the yprime.c file
to yprime.cc just to test the idea.
EDIT Thanks for providing the code. This should be cake my friend, complete cake. :-)
This is my error I get when I try to compile using:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express

Ahhh...now we can find the issue. First, the C2059 error is do to the fact the the function max is being redefined, I'm pretty sure on that because that's how I fixed it. Then the round function has no prototype. Hmmm, that's odd. Well, that's because round is not in math.h so you'll need to implement one like at the top of your file like so:
int round(double number)
{
return (number >= 0) ? (int)(number + 0.5) : (int)(number - 0.5);
}
Now it compiles! As a tip, you can also try mex -v -g when you build to get more verbose debugging messages. Hope this gets you on your way!
Here's the last of what I've got here:
.cc files .cpp files.Open the compile.m script and modify like so:
mex -v -g resize.cpp mex -v -g dt.cpp mex -v -g features.cpp mex -v -g getdetections.cpp
% use one of the following depending on your setup % 0 is fastest, 3 is slowest
% 0) multithreaded convolution using SSE % mex -v -g fconvsse.cpp -o fconv
% 1) multithreaded convolution using blas % WARNING: the blas version does not work with matlab >= 2010b % and Intel CPUs % mex -O fconvblasMT.cpp -lmwblas -o fconv
% 2) mulththreaded convolution without blas % mex -O fconvMT.cpp -o fconv
% 3) convolution using blas mex -g -v fconvblas.cpp -LC:\MATLAB\R2009bSP1\extern\lib\win32\microsoft -lmwblas -output fconv
% 4) basic convolution, very compatible % mex -O fconv.cpp -o fconv
I recommend staying with option 3, pthreads is likely just a little too much for you at this point in time. :-)
Add #define bzero(b,len) (memset((b), '\0', (len)), (void) 0) int round(double number) { return (number >= 0) ? (int)(number + 0.5) : (int)(number - 0.5); } at the top and change:
alphainfo ofs[len];
to
alphainfo * ofs = (alphainfo *)mxMalloc(len);
and
assert(sy-1 >= 0);
to
assert(sy1 >= 0);
don't forget to mxFree(ofs); at the end of the function.
int32_t to int32_T.features.cpp Add
int round(double number) { return (number >= 0) ? (int)(number + 0.5) : (int)(number - 0.5); }
C:\MATLAB\R2009bSP1\extern\lib\win32\microsoft, if not put your Matlab release extern library directory there.Enjoy.
