# mex2.1(1)

compile mex file for Octave

## NAME

mex - compile mex file for Octave

## SYNOPSIS

```
mex [options] mex-file [sources] [objects] [libraries]
```

## OPTIONS

See mkoctfile for a complete list of options to mex.

## DESCRIPTION

mex compiles a file which calls mex functions into an oct-file.  It accepts both FORTRAN and C mex-files.  You may include other source files and object files and libraries in your mex command and they  will be compiled and linked together into the same oct-file, but the mex-file must be the first file listed.  See mkoctfile for details.

## BUGS

If you want to use the V4 mex interface, use -DV4 on the command  line instead of -V4.
