Command line error d8003 missing source filename

I’m using Autotools to compile Matlab modules. Originally, we used Libtool to accomplish, but it really does a terrible job dealing with Microsoft’s compilers. As such, we are removing Libtool for Windows builds.

Here is some information that might be useful:

Microsoft’s C/C++ compiler can pass options to the linker via the ‘/link’ command or by commands known as Compiler-Controlled LINK Options.

The ‘/Fe’ option is thus equivalent to ‘/link /OUT:’. This definitely solves the problem.

Alternatively, the order of the flags can fix the issue. By changing this:

/link /OUT:AverageFilter.mexw32 AverageFilter.obj

To this:

AverageFilter.obj /link /OUT:AverageFilter.mexw32

The linker is called correctly.
