I need to get some MEX functions running with openMP and I have som problems with the compiling.
I use a 2013b version of matlab on OS X 10.9, and run the gcc compiler with the tweeks described in http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/103904
I know the compiler works on regular C and C++ MEX-functions.
The test code I am trying to compile is the following test:
#include "mex.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include "omp.h"
void mexFunction(int nlhs,mxArray* plhs[], int nrhs, const mxArray* prhs[])
{
double sum;
/* Check for proper number of arguments. */
if(nrhs!=0) {
mexErrMsgTxt("No input");
} else if(nlhs!=0) {
mexErrMsgTxt("No output");
}
omp_set_num_threads(omp_get_max_threads());
mexPrintf("Max number of threads %d\n",omp_get_max_threads());
#pragma omp parallel for
for (int i=0;i<omp_get_max_threads();i++){
mexPrintf("Hello from thread %d, nthreads %d\n", omp_get_thread_num(), omp_get_num_threads());
}
return;
}
When I try to compile it using the -fopenmp flag, it seems that the compiler ignores it.
Typing:
>> mex openMPtest.c CFLAGS="\$CFLAGS -fopenmp" LDFLAGS="\$LDFLAGS -fopenmp"
Gives:
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-fopenmp'
Why is the -fopenmp flag ignored? I thougth Matlab would use gcc when gcc is the one asked for in Mexopts.sh, why do I get a warning from CLANG?
The program gets compiled btw. without the openMP functionality:
Output:
>> openMPtest
Max number of threads 4
Hello from thread 0, nthreads 1
Hello from thread 0, nthreads 1
Hello from thread 0, nthreads 1
Hello from thread 0, nthreads 1

I think you're running into a couple of simultaneous issues Håkon:
1) In OSX 10.9 when you call GCC, you're really getting the Clang compiler, see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19535422/os-x-10-9-gcc-links-to-clang
2) Given point 1, the version of Clang supplied with 10.9 Xcode 5 does not support OpenMP.
You have a couple of options; a) install GCC as described in the first link, or b) build/install a version of Clang that supports OpenMP: http://clang-omp.github.io/ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20807024/trying-to-install-openmp-clang-on-mac
Good luck :)

This answer was right on spot!
Thanks a lot!
I tried both the suggested solutions and encountered in both cases problems with xcode 5 and the linking of the new versions (i am not a ninja mac terminal user =) ).
However after a bit back and forth with the mexopts.sh file i was able to bypass the defualt linking to xcode's compiler.
There were very little information out, on how to tweak the mexopts.sh file, so i thought it might be interesting for others to have a look at my tweaking.
I first installed gcc-4.9.0 in the directory "/usr/local/bin/" using macports and $ sudo port install gcc49.
To bypass xcode i changed the following lines in the mexopts.sh file:
129:
# CC='xcrun -sdk macosx10.7 clang' #old
CC='xcrun /usr/local/bin/gcc' #new
149
# CXX='xcrun -sdk macosx10.7 clang++' #old
CXX='xcrun /usr/local/bin/g++' #new
to include the openMP library by defualt i changed the lines:
144
# CLIBS="$CLIBS -lstdc++"
CLIBS="$CLIBS -lstdc++ -I/usr/local/lib -lgomp" #directory <-I/usr/local/lib> may vary
151
#CXXLIBS="$MLIBS -lstdc++"
CXXLIBS="$MLIBS -lstdc++ -I/usr/local/lib -lgomp"
I also had to change all active instances of "MacOSX10.8.sdk"/"MacOSX10.7.sdk" to "MacOSX10.9.sdk" to make the gcc-4.9.0 compiler happy... The openMP flag can be set when compiling, or it may be appended to the $CFLAGS and $CXXFLAGS in the mexopts.sh file.
A copy of my mexopts.sh file now working with Mavericks OS X 10.9 and Matlab 2013b and gcc-4.9.0 installed from macports ($ sudo port install gcc49) is placed at folk.ntnu.no/seljasen/Arbeider/GSL_and_openMP_mexopts.sh
openMP library and flag is included by default.
Again: Thank you very much Eric, for pointing out this solution!

I found this thread very helpful as well, thanks Eric and Hakon.
I would like to add that this fix also worked for me with version R2014a even though the mexopts.sh file is being phased out (as detailed in http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/124597-how-to-setup-gfortran-on-mac-osx-10-9-and-matlab-r2014a). I opted to use gcc-4.9 rather than the clang/OpenMP solution.
Even though R2014a has started using XML files in place of .sh/.bat, they are still allowing the use of mexopts.sh for at least another version or two. By storing the modified mexopts.sh file in ~/.matlab/R2014a/, this file is read over the XML compiler files stored in /Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app/bin/maci64/mexopts/. So far I have not found a suggested method for updating the XML files, so if anyone knows of a way of implementing these changes in a way that is consistent with the new XML format, I would be happy to hear about those.

I know this post is a bit old but Kudos to Eric and Hakon,
I have been struggling with this issue for two days and both replies help me a lot to solve it.
My original error was:
-> xcrun -sdk macosx10.8 clang -O -arch x86_64 -Wl,-syslibroot,/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.8 -bundle -Wl,-exported_symbols_list,/Applications/MATLAB_R2013b.app/extern/lib/maci64/mexFunction.map -fopenmp -lopencv_core -lopencv_imgproc -o "opencv_matlab_mex.mexmaci64" opencv_matlab_mex.o -L/usr/local/lib -L/Applications/MATLAB_R2013b.app/bin/maci64 -lmx -lmex -lmat -lstdc++
ld: library not found for -lgomp
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
mex: link of ' "...mexmaci64"' failed.
I installed gcc 4.9 using the following tutorial: http://solarianprogrammer.com/2013/06/11/compiling-gcc-mac-os-x/
and I changed my mexopts.sh with the following configuration:
CC='xcrun /usr/gcc-4.9.0/bin/gcc-4.9.0'
CLIBS="$MLIBS -lstdc++ -I/usr/gcc-4.9.0/lib/ -lgomp"
CXX='xcrun /usr/gcc-4.9.0/bin/g++-4.9.0'
CXXLIBS="$MLIBS -lstdc++ -I/usr/gcc-4.9.0/lib/ -lgomp"
Thanks again guys.
Regards,
Javier

Thanks for your posts. I am struggling with a similar issue and I am looking for advice.
I've installed gcc49 with Homebrew and made the following changes to my mexopts.sh:
1) CC='xcrun /usr/local/bin/gcc'
2) CXX='xcrun /usr/local/bin/g++'
3) Changed references to 10.9 SDK
When I try to compile my .cpp files, I get the following error message:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/gmp4/lib/libgmp.3.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/Cellar/gcc49/4.9.0/libexec/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin13.3.0/4.9.0/cc1plus
Reason: Incompatible library version: cc1plus requires version 9.0.0 or later, but libgmp.3.dylib provides version 8.0.0
g++: internal compiler error: Trace/BPT trap: 5 (program cc1plus)
/Applications/MATLAB_R2013b.app/bin/mexsh: line 1341: 41110 Abort trap: 6
I'm not sure if this is a Matlab issue or a Homebrew issue. Has anyone encountered this problem?
