CUSVM CUDA MEX function compilation by VS2008 and unassigned output error .mexw64 cuda-svm training

I compiled the cuda version of support vector machine(cuSVM) using visual c++ 2008 and cuda toolkit 3.2, and the result is the *.mexw64 version of the svm trainig function.

after trying to use this function in MATLAB:

load heart_scale.mat;

data = heart_scale_inst;

    value = heart_scale_label;

C = 10;

    kernel = 0.5;

    stopcrit = 0.001;

[alphas, beta, svs] = cusvm_cuda_mex(value, data, C, kernel, [], stopcrit);

I got the following error:

??? One or more output arguments not assigned during call to "cusvm_cuda_mex".

But, it seems the mexFunction correctly assigned the outputs to plhss.

I don’t know what is the source of the problem. The building phase or the mexFunction code.

My operating system is windows 7 64-bit.

Your help and comments are greatly appreciated.

Here is the summary of steps that I followed to compile cuSVM in visual studio 2008.

I wonder if I missed any necessary step. External Image
