Hi,

This is in response to mailing list messages:
https://sourceforge.net/p/matlab-emacs/mailman/message/35061925/ and
https://sourceforge.net/p/matlab-emacs/mailman/message/35063662/ , which
were posted before I subscribed to the list; I haven't found a way
to properly reply to them.


I got my windows setup working by following the emacswiki instructions:
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MatlabMode#toc3.

More specifically:

- Clone the github repository for matlabShell:
  https://github.com/mlt/matlabShell
- Build matlabShell
  - I used the intel compiler, but it should also work with the visual
    studio compiler or others
  - Setup the compilation environment:
    - "%ICPP_COMPILER16%"\bin\compilervars.bat intel64 vs2013" (this may differ
      depending on your setup)
    - For Visual Studio, the setup script is (for me) "c:\Program Files
      (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
  - Setup include/library folders
    - set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;c:\MATLAB\R2007a\extern\include\ (folder containing
      engine.h)
    - set LIB=%LIB%;c:\MATLAB\R2007a\extern\lib\win64\microsoft\ (folder 
      containing libeng.lib)
  - Build: "icl matlabShell.c /link libeng.lib" (cl for visual studio?)
  - This builds matlabShell.exe
- Setup the emacs configuration as described in the github page

Things mostly worked afterwards, I had some issues with tab completion, for which
I had a workaround which I can provide if needed.
