'windows.h' file not found

Hi, I met a problem when I compile c++ on Matlab on a Mac system as followed. I am not familiar with this situation. Could anyone help me with this? THANKS!

 Building with 'Xcode Clang++'.
 Error using mex
 /Users/Downloads/gco-v3.0/matlab/gco_matlab.cpp:5:10: fatal error:
 'windows.h' file not found
 #include <windows.h>

windows.h is an include file that is only for MS Windows systems. It should not have been trying to compile it.

Grab the gco-v3.0.zip from http://vision.csd.uwo.ca/code/ . Let OS-X unzip it for you (double-click it if need be.) Then in MATLAB, use pathtool to add the gco/matlab folder so created to the MATLAB path.

Once that is done, give the command

GCO_UnitTest

and that will do the compiling for you.

Afterwards, test with

h = GCO_Create(4,3)
