Debian Stretch and Matlab 2016b

[hagi123456]

After the update to Debian Stretch playrec is not working out of the box so I recompiled the playrec mex file. Unfortunately, this was not working without some glitches.

These are the step that at least made the jack audio (JACK) backend work for me. I had no luck with ALSA. I didn't invest a lot of time, though, since I am happy with JACK.

Issue 1

• Problem 1:
  build_mex: Unable to find .../playrec/lib/portaudio/src/os/mac_osx

• Solution 2 (from Installation/compilation fails on Linux with GNU Octave)
  commenting out L53 ('src/os/mac_osx') of the file compile_playrec_fun.m

Issue 2

• Problem 2
  Portaudio is using C++ like Comments, but mex defaults to ANSI C.

• Solution 2
  uncomment L40 and modify it that is looks like below (remove the escape \) :
  build_args = {'CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -std=c99"', build_args{:}};

After this playrec with only the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) Backend (API) activated, compiles with only a few deprecation warnings.

Issue 3

• Problem 3
  When using the updated playrec.mexa64 we see the following error:
  playrec.mexa64: .../matlab/R2016b/bin/glnxa64/../../sys/os/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjack.so.0).

• Solution 3 (from: 329796-issue-with-libstdc-so-6)
  start Matlab with:
  LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6" matlab
