Matlab (Octave) wrapper on Linux compiles

Hi there,

I have a question about the Matlab / Octave API interface for OpenSim. Is it possible to compile and use the java wrapper for Matlab together with the API (from source) on a Linux machine? Has anybody tried or has anybody an idea? Is the source code of the wrapper available? I would really like to be able to use the OpenSim API in Octave on Linux.

Regards

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

The source distribution does not include the files necessary to run SWIG or generate/compile the Java wrapping of the API. This's mainly due to the fact that some parts of this operation are not completely automated yet, and that specific versions of SWIG and Java need to be used. We're working on refactoring the wrapping process so that Java wrappers can be created using distributed source files, and should have that available for the next release.

Best regards,
