My system is MAC or Ubuntu, I want to recompile a mexw64 file, where can I find this cpp file?

There are various issues with library linking in the .mexmaci64 file, it would be great to have the source available to recompile.

Thanks!

Today I discovered that Matlab versions above 2016b have problems resolving @loader_path and requires a slight modification on how to resolve dynamic library paths.

I am on macOS so the commands for linux is different (ldd instad of otool for example) but it seems that if you change the @loader_paths in the following command using the install_name_tool like indicated below (just for @loader_path ones) so that you get the second result with otool it seems to work in newer versions of Matlab.

I am just writing this down so that it might help some others since I was keeping two copies of Matlab until now to keep MCRoomSim running.

In the terminal in MCRoomSim folder:

otool MCRoomSim.mexmaci64 -L

MCRoomSim.mexmaci64:
@loader_path/libut.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)

Hope this helps,
