Using a .mexw64 function on a Mac.
Show older comments
Hey! I realize that .mexw64 is a compiled machine code for a Windows 64-bit setup, and thus I cannot use that on the Mac. Is there any way that I can use it anyhow? Maybe by changing it to another format or reading the file and copying and pasting it? Thank you! P.S. The function is the pixelIdlistsn.mexw64.

No. The mexw64 file can only be used by a 64-bit MATLAB version running under Windows. There is no way to modify it (copying, pasting, reformatting, etc) that will allow it to run on a Mac.

What if you have the original .m code?

If you have the original m-code then you can recompile that on the Mac into a Mac version, yes.

Any ideas on how to do that?

A .mex* file is typically originally C or C++ code (sometimes fortran) that has been compiled with the 'mex' command, such as
mex -v pixelIdlistsn.c
If you were starting with .m code then you would need to use MATLAB Coder to generate the C or C++ code to be built with mex; see https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/mlc-downloads/downloads/submissions/47593/versions/18/previews/documentation/modules/CodeGeneration/html/AccelerateMATLABDocumentation.html?access_key=
