RE: LabCA for MATLAB Installation error

Hi Bo,

Do you see the same error as Giovanni saw, or are you getting a different build failure?

Regards,

Freddie

Subject: Re: LabCA for MATLAB Installation error

Dear Giovanni  and all

I am also struggling to get LabCA to compile under Windows, and I found this thread from the summer.
Did you mange to get LabCA to work/compile with MINGW under windows 10?

Any hints on how to get this working are most welcome, I am normally using EPICS/Matlab under Linux but in this case I am stuck with windows, and would very much like a Matlab / EPICS integration.

Best

Bo
