I think maybe I didn't explain my question well enough.

It seems that your suggestion would allow me to compile a c/cpp file 
against the matlab mex library, but what I want to do is compile a file 
for use in Matlab using the mex compiler. I can do this by hand by 
executing the following in a shell:

$ mex foo.cpp

This would produce a foo.mexglx binary which matlab would be able to use.

This is great if your foo.cpp is self-contained, however my foo.cpp 
depends on libraries and include files which I generate in my CMake 
build. Manually what I would do to handle this is:

$ mex -I/my/include/path -L/my/library/path -lmylib ... foo.cpp

I would like to make a CMake target which does the command above, taking 
into account any library or include dependencies I specify in my 
CMakeLists.txt. Is this possible?

Thanks,
