Take the chance to search in the net by your own. E.g. asking Google about "Matlab mex how to" will reveal a lot of corresponding tutorials.

hi, google gave me this site as the best solution for my question.Unfortunately,I am not able to do anything with my C-file.What should be the steps followed? -c Compile only. Creates an object file but not a MEX-file. how to give -c ? is this compile only necessary for c-code compiling?

@Pooja: Which is "this" page? Did you look in the top 20 pages found by Google?

Simply let Matlab compile the C-file completely:

mex -setup  (if not done before)
mex -O YourCFile.c

ready.

Is this that simple ?Only these two codes needed?
