Fixing FieldTrip issues with Matlab
  • Change directory to fieldtrip, delete all Mex files in the src/ directory
  • Edit src/ft_getopt.c and replace any mxErrMsgTxt to mexErrMsgTxt (notice the 'mex' instead of 'mx')
  • Rename mxSerialize.c to mxSerialize.cpp (same for mxDeserialize)
  • Edit those files, and replace the prototype declarations to:
// MX_API_VER has unfortunately not changed between R2013b and R2014a,
// so we use the new MATRIX_DLL_EXPORT_SYM as an ugly hack instead
#if defined(__cplusplus) && defined(MATRIX_DLL_EXPORT_SYM)

Building Armadillo + OpenBLAS [on Intel + Ubuntu]

Introduction

I actually found very few indications on the net to install Armadillo with OpenBLAS on Ubuntu, and I ran into problems when I tried to install the Ubuntu pre-build packages (using apt-get). So I decided to share my experience building the whole thing from scratch, hopefully this can serve as a step-by-step through the install.

Platform

As of writing this, I'm using Ubuntu desktop 14.04 with an Intel i7 4820k Ivy-Bridge E CPU.
