mex issues

[normanF]

Hi Armand,
hope you are doing well!

I have an issue with compiling the c files under windows (previously your tools worked neatly under linux). Although it is saying "MEX completed succesfully." there are several warnings during the compiling process:

mex ept_mex_TFCE.c
Building with 'MinGW64 Compiler (C)'.
F:\MatlabLibraries\Tools\othmatlablib\unfold\lib\ept_TFCE\TFCE\Dependencies\ept_mex_TFCE.c: In function 'mexFunction':

When calling ept_tfce on a time course of EEG data I get non-sensible and identical p-values for all time points (1.0e-04 * 0.9998).

Have you encountered this issue before and if so do you know how to fix it?

Best

Hi again,
somehow I overlooked that there was already a similar issue before and you already found the solution that I will just paste here :) Thanks a lot for investigating this!

The warnings disappear if an option flag is added to the compiling call, e.g.,:
mex ept_mex_TFCE.c -compatibleArrayDims

Best, Norman
