Please allow me more explain.

Accually, I want to run ASA package (Adaptive simulated annealing algorithm) in matlab. For this I used ASAMIN, a MATLAB gateway to ASA.

I used its manual (page14 of the fulltext01.pdf that is attached).

Based on that:

I saved the content of ASA package and ASAMIN package in a folder called "asamin" and saved it in C driver.

I wrote following code in matlab:

mex asamin.c asa.c -DUSER_ACCEPTANCE_TEST#TRUE DUSER_ASA_OUT#TRUE-DDBL_MIN#2.2250738585072014e-308

and run it. Matlab made following error:

Building with 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Professional (C)'.

I search about that in Mathworks site and found almost a similar case. i try it but it don't worked for me:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/323248-problem-using-adaptive-simulated-annealing-asa-with-asamin-gateway?s_tid=prof_contriblnk

Finally i wrote my code as following:

K>> mex CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -D DDBL_MIN=2.2250738585072014e-308" -DUSER_ACCEPTANCE_TEST -DUSER_ASA_OUT ....

mex asamin.c asa.c -DUSER_ACCEPTANCE_TEST -DUSER_ASA_OUT-DDBL_MIN=2.2250738585072014e-308

that made this error:

Error using mex

C:\asamin\mex not found; check that you are in the correct current folder, and check the

spelling of 'C:\asamin\mex'.

I attached a figure of the code.

If it possible, please see it.
