I have some software which utilizes a couple mex functions, compiled from .c files. They were compiled on a windows computer and so only work on Windows. I’m updating the software to work on other platforms, so I need to re-compile the c files on my mac to make mex functions that are compatible with mac. To do this, I need a compiler that’s compatible with mac. As far as I can tell, the only compiler I can get for free is Xcode.
However, when I try to install Xcode, I can’t. It is not compatible with anything before MacOS 14. Yet when I try to download MacOS 14 Sonoma, I can’t because it’s not compatible with my computer, only with Macbook Pro 2018 and later.
So my question is, how can I compile .c files into mex functions on my macbook pro 2017? Is there any free compiler out there that will do the job?I have some software which utilizes a couple mex functions, compiled from .c files.
