How can I compile mex file in SPM12 on macos Monterey?

I wonder how can I fix the error below.

“Error using file2mat (line 16)

file2mat.c not compiled - see Makefile”

Also when I try to compile the mex, I met the error below.

mex -O -largeArrayDims -c spm_vol_utils.c -DSPM_UNSIGNED_CHAR

make: mex: No such file or directory

make: *** [utils_uchar.mexmaci64.o] Error 1

Hi, having a similar issue. Were you able to find a fix?

I cannot directly answer your question since I also am not able to use spm on Mac OS Monterey but if you do not get any answers here, there may be an answer on the spm mailinglist in the future (https://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/support/) - hopefully.

First of all, make sure that you can run "mex" in the command line in Matlab.

And then, just navigate to the folder, for example, ~/MatLab_ToolBox/SPM/***, and then run "mex file2mat.c" in the command line.

Warnings may be generated. But it really works.
