<div dir="ltr">Dear Jonas,<div><br></div><div>I appreciate you share your solution. Yes, the names of the .dll files are familiar to me. I remember I needed to find them out from random internet website (after finding hundreds of spam sites) which took me almost two hours. In my case I was using win 7 64bit.</div><div><br></div><div>Looks like Jason prepared the solution so that users do not need to go through that process. Very nice!</div><div><br></div><div>Makoto </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 14, 2016 at 7:59 AM, Jonas Chatel-Goldman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jonas.chatel.goldman@gmail.com" target="_blank">jonas.chatel.goldman@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Hi all,</span><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">This is to share some work-around I went through when trying (and finally managing) to run AMICA on my setup (windows 10 64bits, Matlab R2015a). </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>First I downloaded the latest version on Jason's website (<a href="http://sccn.ucsd.edu/~jason/amica_web.html" target="_blank">http://sccn.ucsd.edu/~jason/amica_web.html</a>) and tested the binary file 'amica15mkl.exe'. This failed outputing error that two lib files are missing: libiomp5md.dll and fmpich2.dll. </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Then I browsed the net and found Jason's GitHub (<a href="https://github.com/japalmer29/amica" target="_blank">https://github.com/japalmer29/amica</a>) with source code in Fortran. Jason gives some suggestions to compile it so as to create our own binary file... well, the least I can say is that for a naive user like me the whole process is not straightforward! It requires installing the costly Intel Fortran compiler. Though it exists in a free student version (<a href="https://software.intel.com/en-us/qualify-for-free-software/student" target="_blank">https://software.intel.com/en-us/qualify-for-free-software/student</a>), this is a huge software (>3Gb). Compiling the binary also requires installing mpich2 (<a href="http://www.mpich.org/downloads/" target="_blank">http://www.mpich.org/downloads/</a>), for which no simple windows installer is provided in the last versions.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">I wondered if I could find a simpler approach? Instead of recompiling everything, I tried to simply get the two missing lib file. I could obtain a proper libiomp5md.dll on some library repository website after having downloaded a few corrupted ones. Regarding fmpich2.dll, browsing internet and mpich website I could find a .msi windows installer for an older mpich2 version (<a href="http://www.mpich.org/static/downloads/1.4/" target="_blank">http://www.mpich.org/static/downloads/1.4/</a>). Installing this is straightforward and provides fmpich2.dll. Finally, putting the two lib files in the same folder as amica binary and I could run everything smoothly!</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Voilà, I hope this can help future windows users. If needed, I can provide the lib files directly.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Few suggestions and remarks:</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">- first of all big thanks for the hard work and dedication in providing and sharing code for these advanced signal processing tools!</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">- available info and files regarding AMICA are scattered in multiple websites with different information. For instance, Jason's website has the latest version but lacks necessary file 'loadmodout12.m'; the Amica plugin is not available from download within EEGlab; only GitHub has all necessary files but without precompiled binaries; lib files necessary to run amica (at least on windows) are not provided anywhere. This makes it not so straightforward to get to run AMICA...</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">cheers,</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><b style="color:rgb(153,153,153)">Jonas</b></div></div></div></div></div></div>
