[Rtk-users] SimpleRTK + Matlab

Fri Sep 23 04:29:06 EDT 2016

Hi again.

I've been spending some more time with this, and feel I learned a little
bit more. I have now tested this on several machines with several compiler
versions (more or less all of them) and serveral cmake versions - all with
Windows 7.

I can actually reproduce the successful build you linked to, but this can
only be done if you do not include any of the language wrappings, like in
the build you linked to. Enable any of them, and the build will break. (see
attachment)

I suspect it must have been working in the past, but since none of them are
included in your test there have been a breaking change, and none of them
work anymore.

I am still trying to tweak then projects manually to build SimpleRTK with
some sort of language support, but still without any luck.

best

Arvid
