mex Switches Now Supported on Microsoft Windows
MATLAB now supports the -l and -L options to the mex command on Windows
operating systems. In previous releases of MATLAB, these options were supported only
on UNIX systems.
Switch Description
-l Specifies additional libraries to link against.
Note On Windows operating systems, the -l option can specify
libraries of two forms. For example, specifying -l name matches
either name.lib or libname.lib, whereas on UNIX it matches
only libname.lib.
-L Specifies a path to use when MATLAB searches for library files
specified with the -l option. The -L option must precede the -l
option.
For the switches you can use with the mex command, see the MEX Script Switches table
in the Custom Building MEX-Files section of Creating C/C++ and Fortran Programs to be
Callable from MATLAB (MEX-Files) in the MATLAB External Interfaces documentation.
New COM Programmatic Identifier
There is now a ProgID that enables you to use the full desktop version of MATLAB as an
automation server.
Matlab.Desktop.Application starts an automation server using the most recent
version of MATLAB that is installed on your system.
New File Extension for MEX-Files on Windows Systems
MATLAB now uses the extension .mexw32 for MEX-files on 32-bit versions of Windows
systems. In previous versions, MATLAB used the extension .dll.
