MEX config files for Microsoft Visual Studio 2017

README.md

XML configuration files for compiling MATLAB MEX-files using VS2017. Tested on Windows 10 64-bit with MATLAB R2016b and Visual Studio 2017 (Enterprise Edition), but it should also work with the Community Edition.

1. First copy the files to MATLABROOT\bin\win64\mexopts (this might trigger a UAC prompt).
2. Next run mex -setup and mex -setup C++ in MATLAB, and select VS2017 compilers.
3. Finally test the new settings with a sample MEX-file:

>> mex -v -largeArrayDims test.cpp
>> test()

#include "mex.h"
void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[], int nrhs, const mxArray*prhs[])
{
    plhs[0] = mxCreateDoubleScalar(42);
}

Would you have the "nvcc_msvcpp2017.xml" because only exist the nvcc_msvcpp2015.xml ??

I tried this with MATLAB 2017b it didnt work. mex -setup -v is unable to find VS 2017 .. any suggestions

Unfortunately, this did not work on my Matlab 2016a. Perhaps I had better upgrade my Matlab first.
