Re: [Help-gsl] libraries without installation

[Khoa Tran]

Dear Vincenzo,

I’m no more experienced than you but I hope I can share some insight. 

First, I think you obviously need to install the libraries mentioned since they 
are needed. Once you compile the c-code into a mex file then any necessary 
function would be embedded in your mex file too. So your user in Matlab would 
not need to install these libraries. Anyone please correct me if I am wrong. 

Second, as far as the mex interface goes, I think there should be no conflict 
between these libraries and the mex interface. The primal goal of the interface 
should be only to pass data between Matlab and C formats only. So I am not sure 
why you would not want to install the libraries. 

Third, I think it is totally possible to write your software without using 
those libraries, but I guess that would be a huge task for you since we don’t 
know the language that well.

I hope it clears up some of your concerns!

Best regards!
Khoa.
