I have successfully used the Knowledge base solution with Matlab R14SP2. It works very well. However I have a question about debugging.

I have added the debug flag to the mexopts.bat file under COMPFLAGS and generated a .dll which should have debug symbols. How do I debug this file though

I have tried to attach to the matlab.exe process in VS2003 IDE but when the dll is loaded it says no symbols were loaded.

Where am I going wrong, or is there a better source level debugging approach??

Any suggestions greatly appreciated...

Thanks,
Andrew Hutchinson

I hava not tried to debug and I don't see how you can debug into the Fortran source.
You are probably the first to try to do this. If you have any success please let us know.

Hi,

I am also trying to use FTN95 with MATLAB but it could not get it working. Salford FTN95 is not a default list of compilers that is automatically supported by MATLAB. Even trying the MATLAB documentation example does not work. The is no refenerenece to an external library. Below
are 2 lines form the example. engOpen must be the instruction to open the MATLAB engine.

integer engOpen, engGetVariable, mxCreateDoubleMatrix

ep = engOpen('matlab ')

Question: How do I connect my Salford fortran program to the MATLAB engine?

Thanks
Jacques

Have you looked at the item on MATLAB in the Silverfrost forum knowledge base (KBASE)?

Hi Paul,

I have already found and tried the knowledgebase entry (Using MATLAB 6.5 and later versions with FTN95). This only explains how to create a mex subroutine that can be called as a MATLAB-function within MATLAB.

What I would like to do is the other way around, to call a MATLAB math routine from my fortran program. For this purpose MALTAB provides a so called "MATLAB engine". The engine library commands are explained well, but I do not know how to connect with the engine library.

A small tipp as to where to start searching would help a lot.

Thanks!

I do not know how to do this. However you should note that MATLAB uses the STDCALL protocol so your Fortran code will probably need to take account of this.
