mex error with Xcode 13.2.1

[josejmunoz]

Hello. When compiling in Apple M1 machine (version 12.0.1) function mirt3D_mexinterp.cpp with

mex mirt3D_mexinterp.cpp

I get the errors related to conversion of types from 'const mwSize *' to 'const int *'. Has any body got similar errors? Sorry if this has already been reported.

Detail of the output error is as follows:

Apologies for the delay - there doesn't seem to be anyone in the Franck Lab monitoring this repo, unfortunately. Hopefully you've found a solution, but in case not I'll mention a few things.

As far as I know we've never tested on the A1+Xcode platform, and mex compatibility on anything other than Windows+Intel complier can be spotty even on more conventional hardware in my experience. I don't recall if I ever actually got the mex working on my own Intel MBP, but that specifically is not an error I recall seeing before.

That said, if you want to use A1 hardware I'd recommend trying the built-in interp functions. For more info see my reply to Issue #23 and also take a look at here for a non-mex way to run the interpolation (in 2D, for that case).

Cheers,
