Building with Visual Studio 2005 and Matlab 2013a

[ghost]

I know, it's sort of a weird configuration, but just in case someone needs it.

I didn't manage to compile the matlabShell on Win7x64/VS2005/R2013a neither with link.bat, nor with nmake.

However, I did manage to compile it manually:

1. Open the Visual Studio 2005 x64 command prompt.
2. Compile it with:
   cl.exe matlabShell.c /I "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013a\extern\include" "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013a\extern\lib\win64\microsoft\libeng.lib
3. Run with:

@echo off
SET PATH=C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013a\bin\win64
%~dp0\matlabShell.exe %*

No warranty and scanty tests implied.

I intended to use it with matlab-mode on Windows.

I should say, it's quite slow.
Opening a menu takes several seconds.
Maybe it is due to this 'stdout buffering'?
Or, maybe it's a matlab-mode problem?

I haven't used it in a long time. There might be some buffering involved indeed. Did you try to compile using Matlab as opposed to using VS?

Have you seen another issue I raised a while ago about lcc. I wonder if that has been fixed. I think it was the only odd buffering issue I observed.

I just re-read your very first post. Did you update paths in Makefile and/or batch file while trying to build? What was the error? I don't recall how I ended up building it. Perhaps using Msys2 and gcc.
