1. Matlab does not compile (Windows only)

Under Windows, if the BCVTB is compiled using the Microsoft compiler, then the Matlab libraries also need to be compiled with the Microsoft compiler. Otherwise, the you may get a compilation error like:

Writing library for establishBSDSocket.mexw32 
c:\docume~1\mwetter\locals~1\temp\mex_ae679\simulinksocket.obj .text: undefined reference to '_establishclientsocket' 
c:\docume~1\mwetter\locals~1\temp\mex_ae679\simulinksocket.obj .text: undefined reference to '_exchangewithsocket' 
c:\docume~1\mwetter\locals~1\temp\mex_ae679\simulinksocket.obj .text: undefined reference to '_closeipc'

To fix this problem, open Matlab, run

mex -setup

and select the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler from the menu. This need to be done only once as it updates your Matlab settings.

2. Runtime problems

If something goes wrong during the simulation, check the files utilSocket.log and utilClient.log. They contain log messages that may indicate the cause of the problem. If these files do not exist, go to the directory bcvtb/lib, open the file defines.h and add the line

#define NDEBUG

Then, from the directory bcvtb/lib compile the libraries using

make clean
make

and rerun the simulation. Now the log files should be written to the directory from which you started the BCVTB.
