I have multiple C++ files in a project. These compile perfectly on MATLAB but do not compile on Octave. There can be 'n' reasons for this problem but I am discussing one case which could lead to such situation.
Assumption: Both MATLAB and Octave are working with the C++ compiler properly.
Issue: In MATLAB you can specify multiple source files using '*.cpp' and that compiles properly but in Octave that does not seem to work and displays the following error:
Error: "clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
warning: mkoctfile: building exited with failure status"
Solution: Simply specify all source files with their name and don't use '*' in compilation command.
Example:
With problem:
mex -I.. -I./code -I./code1 -I./code2 main.cpp ./code1/*.cpp ./code2/*.cpp
With solution:
mex -I.. -I./code -I./code1 -I./code2 main.cpp ./code1/s1.cpp ./code2/s2.cpp
I did not find the solution to my problem. So I created a small project and after great efforts and with luck, I got the solution. And thought, it's my responsibiltiy to make this solution available to you. You can find see the mex code example with multiple sources files here.
