Hi Rodrigo, Jens,<div><br></div><div>thanks for all your help. I finally got it to work. </div><div><br></div><div>I am on windows 7, but that doesn't really seem to change anything. The mex file I compiled on 7 works on XP just as well. Here's what I did:</div>
<div><br></div><div>- got the current mingw + msys using the automated installer, installing everything but the objective c and ada compilers.</div><div>- followed the steps on the website, configure using the same options as Rodrigo</div>
<div><br></div><div>configure, make, make test, make install all worked flawlessly. The problems started with gnumex.</div><div><br></div><div>1. I am using Matlab 7.11, so I had to use the new gnumex 2.03 which fixes a bug in Matlab 7.11's <a href="http://mex.pl">mex.pl</a> file</div>
<div>2. I changed the mexopts.bat file according to Rodrigo's suggestions. The problem I ran into was that all the .a libraries were not found, because the compiler only looked for .lib files. I got around this problem by creating symbolic links of the form *.lib to all the necessary *.a files</div>
<div><br></div><div>With these changes, it compiled without problems</div><div><br></div><div>Since "ipopt matlab windows" seems to be a very popular google search term, I was wondering if there exist any copyright/legal objections against posting the compiled ipopt mex file (with MUMPS) and all the necessary files to run it somewhere online? </div>

</div>I just checked the mingw home page. I found that the documentation was<br>
updated since I had read it last time. However, go to<br>
<a href="http://www.mingw.org/wiki/InstallationHOWTOforMinGW" target="_blank">http://www.mingw.org/wiki/InstallationHOWTOforMinGW</a><br>
and scroll down to 'Manual Installations'. Follow all the instructions<br>
- this will need some time. I checked a few links, for me it looks<br>
like they point all to the gcc4.5 version. So here you will get all<br>
the necessary packages.<br>
<br>
Then, after you updated to the newest version of gcc, try to use it.<br>
In my gcc-version (4.5.0-1) the compiler did not yet work fully<br>
correctly, that is why one had to set the linker-option ( I found this<br>
in the release notes). [I just see that this version is the same as<br>
the version suggested on the mingw page.]<br>

</div>Well, this depends on your environment. I work in the 'msys'-shell as<br>
suggested on the mingw home page. If gcc is called,<br>
(a) either directly by typing on the msys command-prompt,<br>
(b) or by a make-tool<br>
(c) or by some other program<br>
there is always a way to set the compiler options. In my case (b) I<br>
just put it as an option behind the gcc-comand in the makefile.<br>
<div><br>
> Can you tell me why you chose these<br>

</div>See above: I found it in the release notes.<br>
The (nearly) complete list of all options may be found in the gcc manual.<br>
<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/" target="_blank">http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/</a><br>
But the list is too long for just reading it, you need to use the list<br>
as reference for looking up unknown things.<br>
<br>
<br>
Good luck<br>
