Matlab mex cannot include Opensim.h

Hi everyone,
I'm writing a mex file for testing. I use Matlab 2019a with Opensim 4.0, and MinGW64 Compiler (C++). My system is 64-bit win10.
I just use a MATLAB example code, but include an OpenSim.h . The code is like:
#include "mex.hpp"
#include "mexAdapter.hpp"
#include "OpenSim\OpenSim.h"
using namespace matlab::data;
using matlab::mex::ArgumentList;
class MexFunction : public matlab::mex::Function {
public:
void operator()(ArgumentList outputs, ArgumentList inputs) {
const double offSet = inputs[0][0];
TypedArray<double> doubleArray = std::move(inputs[1]);
for (auto& elem : doubleArray) {
elem += offSet;
}
outputs[0] = doubleArray;
}
};
And I use matlab command to compile:
mex myfile.cpp...
-L'C:\Program Files\OpenSim 4.0\sdk\lib'...
-L'C:\Program Files\OpenSim 4.0\sdk\Simbody\lib'...
-losimCommon -losimSimulation...
-losimAnalyses -losimActuators -losimTools...
-lSimTKcommon -lSimTKmath -lSimTKsimbody...
-I'C:/Program Files/OpenSim 4.0/sdk/include'...
-I'C:/Program Files/OpenSim 4.0/sdk'...
-I'C:/Program Files/OpenSim 4.0/sdk/Simbody/include'...
-I'C:/Program Files/OpenSim 4.0/sdk/include/Opensim'...
;
The I get a lot of errors like:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\mex_43450185476353_8508\myfile.obj:myfile.cpp:(.text$_ZNK7OpenSim9ArrayPtrsINS_6ObjectEE7getLastEv[_ZNK7OpenSim9ArrayPtrsINS_6ObjectEE7getLastEv]+0x6b):
undefined reference to
`__imp__ZN7OpenSim9ExceptionC1ERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEES8_i'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I don't have solid knowledge in C++. Can someone help? Thanks in advance.

I have the impression that OpenSim cannot be compiled with MinGW because there are some namespace conflicts. Can you try compiling an example to verify this. If this is the case, then you might need to use another compiler (Microsoft compiler).

Yes, I tried the example I posted without #include Opensim.h, and it works. I'll try other compilers. Thanks for your reply.

I got this error, and still have no clue:

The file contains a character that cannot be represented in the current code page (936).

Thank you! It does help to remove the warning, but the errors still remain.

This seems like a Matlab/compiler issue and not an OpenSim issue, so I would suggest looking at Stackoverflow or Matlab help sites to try and solve your issue.

Hi Wentao,
I have the Matlab-OpenSim mex functionality working for OpenSim 3.3. I seem to remember reading somewhere that you need to compile the Mex functions with the same compiler with which the version of OpenSim you're using... (I could be wrong...). The 3.3 version I have was built with VS 15 I believe, and my Matlab C compiler is for VS 15.
I hope that helps somehow!
Kind regards,
Nicos Haralabidis

Thanks for your reply. I agree with you, and I checked with VS 15 and 17 that are used by Opensim 4.0, but neither works. I still cannot figure out the problem. But luckily I can use other methods to continue my work.

Maybe you haven't provided the include dir when compiling with mex. The compiler must know the location of the OpenSim.h file directory. This is typically provided with the -I argument.
