I'm struggling to get my Fortran code to use the MATLAB engine and run MATLAB scripts/function. I'm using MacOS, gfortran compiler and MATLAB 2019a.
I found an online resource (MATLAB API Guide v5) that describes how to compile the Fortran code:
f77 <include dir> –o <result> <source> <libdir> <libraries>
where:
- <include dir> is –I<matlabroot>/extern/include
- <result> is the name of the resulting program
- <source> is the list of source files
- <libdir> is –L<matlabroot>/extern/lib/$ARCH (in my case, I'm assuming $ARCH = maci64)
- <libraries> is –leng –lmx
which does not work for me.
I have added example code samples for MATLAB (saved as testMe.m), Fortran (shortened without error checks and saved as callMat.f90) as well as the complie command:
MATLAB CODE:
a=2;b=3;c=55;d=42;
fprinft("%2.0f + %2.0f = %2.0f", a, c, (a+c));
fprinft("%2.0f x %2.0f = %2.0f", b, d, (b*d));
FORTRAN CODE:
program callMat
#include "engine.h" !not sure if this belongs in/before 'program' or exclude entirely (I've tried all 3 versions).
implicit none
ep = engOpen('matlab ')
engEvalString(ep, 'testMe')
engClose(ep)
end program callMat
GFORTRAN COMPILE COMMAND:
gfortran -I /Applications/MATLAB_R2019a.app/extern/include -o callMat callMat.f90 -L /Applications/MATLAB_R2019a.app/extern/lib/maci64 -leng -lmx
Please could you let me know where I went wrong as I cant even get the example code 'fengdemo.F' working.
