[Matlab-emacs-discuss] Emacs-Matlab Integration under Windows OS

[Qi Sun]

Dear all,

I have to switch to the Windows OS at work place while still thinking on integrating Matlab to Emacs. However, the Windows version matlab does not provide matlabshell at all. The -nodesktop option just pops up an isolated command window.

There was a solution created by Bob Morris from U of Massachusetts Boston. But it's way out of date right now I can't even recompile with the mex function. Is there anyone else facing similar situation as I do?

Thank you for any further suggestions or help!

Best,
Qi Sun

Hi Qi,

I don't know of a way to make matlab-shell work on Windows. It might be possible to create something similar to Bob's old script that would work, but that is not something I'm familiar with. Sorry.

Eric

Hi,

I got my windows setup working by following the emacswiki instructions:
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MatlabMode#toc3.

More specifically:

- Clone the github repository for matlabShell:
https://github.com/mlt/matlabShell
- Build matlabShell
- I used the intel compiler, but it should also work with the visual
studio compiler or others
- Setup the compilation environment:
- "%ICPP_COMPILER16%"\bin\compilervars.bat intel64 vs2013" (this may differ
depending on your setup)
- For Visual Studio, the setup script is (for me) "c:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
- Setup include/library folders
- set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;c:\MATLAB\R2007a\extern\include\ (folder containing
engine.h)
- set LIB=%LIB%;c:\MATLAB\R2007a\extern\lib\win64\microsoft\ (folder
containing libeng.lib)
- Build: "icl matlabShell.c /link libeng.lib" (cl for visual studio?)
- This builds matlabShell.exe
- Setup the emacs configuration as described in the github page

Things mostly worked afterwards, I had some issues with tab completion, for
which I had a workaround which I can provide if needed.
