In order to allows direct communication between MATLAB and EPICS, we used the epics-labca from GitHub.
While the library building in a Linux system is quite simple and works fine, the building into a Windows System needs some particular attention to be achieved.
...
- the epics-labca source files downloaded from GitHub
- Epics installed on your device
- Matlab installed on your device
In my case, epics was 7The present guide describes an installation based on: epics7.0 version and Matlab R2022.
In Windows environment it would be preferred that those program were installed in a path without blank spaces. Maybe is not necessary, but I did.
...
Change the EPICS_BASE value with the installation path of your EPICS, at the base level
No need for EPICS_BASE ro to be compounded by a BASE_SUBDIR.

Open the glue/mglue.h file and edit the line 91 that was
void lcaMexGblInit();
trasforming it in:
epicsShareFunc void epicsShareAPI lcaMexGblInit();
This is necessary because Windows for default doesn't export functions into library. It must be explicitly declared, differently from Linux.
