Hi,
yesterday, I tried to install a program that was compiled with Matlab under Wine. Unfortunately, when the installer tried to install the Matlab libraries, I got an error indicating that something had gone wrong with a file named _install.bat.
We don't have Matlab for Linux here, so Wine seems to be our only option for this program.
Has anyone else perhaps succeeded in installing programs that were compiled with Matlab?
Kind regards,
Alex
Running Matlab-compiled binaries with Wine?

I believe everyone on Linux uses Gnu Octave instead. It's fairly compatible with Matlabe (http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/FAQ. ... patibility) and available for all operating systems.
But, Octave nor Matlab for Linux wouldn't help you anyway if the program has already been 'compiled'. You'll need to file a bug-report with all the associated dumps - but I wouldn't hold my breath for a fix unless it's something really simple, as no developer is likely to have the app that is giving you problems and are therefore unable to recreate your issue.

I know. I've been using Octave for years, but this case is special in so far as I'd have to plough through almost half a meg of source and refactor the incompatible parts, which is simply out of the question even when neglecting the GUI problems that would arise.3vi1 wrote:>> We don't have Matlab for Linux here, so Wine seems to be our only option for this program.

That wouldn't be so much of a problem, since the software is freely available, but I think I'd like to try something else first …3vi1 wrote: You'll need to file a bug-report with all the associated dumps - but I wouldn't hold my breath for a fix unless it's something really simple, as no developer is likely to have the app that is giving you problems and are therefore unable to recreate your issue.
Thank anyway,

Hi Alex,
your best bet in the long run is to file a bug with a sample binary, as a quick workaround you could install the binary package in windows, track the changes with tools like Total Uninstall, then write a bash script for linux to copy the files and create the appropriate registry entries (it should be possible to use .reg files like in windows, something like "wine regedit xyz.reg" should work).
