How to convert software package in C so it works on Matlab?

[negreponte]

Hi! I have a software package in c (including libraries, c
functions-programs, c interface for parametres initialization )and I
want to call it from Matlab.
Have I to convert in mex files every file in this package (except
libraries)? Or is there an easier way to call it from matlab?

Thanks

What type of interface does your software have? Is it a Windows DLL with C calling conventions? Is it a command-line utility with standard I/O or file I/O? Something else?

MEX files make life easy for the MATLAB user. It's a good way to go.

Yes you can.

It is possible to combine several object files and to use object file libraries when building MEX-files. To do so, simply list the additional files with their full extension, separated by spaces. For example, on the PC

mex circle.c square.obj rectangle.c shapes.lib

is a legal command that operates on the .c, .obj, and .lib files to create a MEX-file called circle.mexw32, where mexw32 is the extension corresponding to the MEX-file type on 32-bit Windows. The name of the resulting MEX-file is taken from the first file in the list.

Thanks for your answers!
This package is a software for mathematical computing.The interface is a c programm for parameters initialization and memory allocation. This software has also c programms which contain c wrappers for routines defined from libraries.
