Matlab

What works

follow instructions from: appview.php?iVersionId=5385&iTestingId=5290 The results were pretty much the same. Edit serial disk id in winecfg if needed.

What does not

Latest Java 5.0 update 9 (as well as 10) does not work, so stick with update 6 Drawing 3d Surfaces does not work. (e.g. Demos->graphics->3-D Plots) The window opens, but no coordinate system is being shown, only the empty "Figure 1" window.Plotting R->RxR function (a 2d vector as a result) as well as the teapot demo do work.

Workarounds

What was not tested

more advanced functions, 4d graphs etc.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU:
• Driver:

Additional Comments

To get started, select MATLAB Help or Demos from the Help menu.

Hi,

If you are trying to run Matlab Simulink in wine1.7, you may find that Matlab will crash with exception(Bug#37381). Since, the bug is notified, it can take sometime to fix it. Till then, u can run Matlab Simulink by overriding msvcr80.dll.

Steps to override: (Assuming you have installed wine1.7.29 or higher, and Matlab)

1. Close Matlab, if opened. Go to winecfg by menu or typing command "winecfg" in terminal. A Dialog box will open.

2. Go to "library" tab. You will see options for "dll overrides".

3. From "New override for library", select msvcr80.dll, and click on "Add". Now, you can see the dll in list. The dll should be mentioned on the list like "msvcr80 (native, built-in)". If all is good then finally click on "OK".

4. You are now good to go. Start Matlab. It should work fine.

Hi,

When using Matlab with wine1.7, it might be possible that you will end up with /home/ or some other folder as your startup folder. Well, I am not sure what is it-- a bug or what. After changing the path in Preference, it sometimes does not open the initial working directory.

However, I have found a way around to this. Now, you can write a "startup.m" (one line script) and save it to (Matlab_ROOT)/toolbox/local/ . This .m file is automatically executed by Matlab whenever it starts.

Inside "startup.m", you need to add a command which is

cd 'C:\(Your Startup folder path)'

like I have written

cd 'C:\Matlab programs\'

• Please use single inverted comma, if the filepath has space in between.

• Use Matlab editor to write the command so that you can be sure that the file path is correct (as Matlab editor will show error using color fonts.

Have fun !!!
