It would easy to compile it with mex and gdal. First, ensure gdal (and its development headers/libs) is installed via apt-get/yum/dnf/pacman/self-compiling. Then call

$MATLABROOT/bin/mex -v -lgdal mexgdal.c

The provided makefile assumes MATLAB 2017a and gdal are installed at system default position. Please change them accordingly.

Pre-built binrary (Win10 x64, MATLAB 2015a, VC++ 2010, GDAL 2.1.3) is provided. Dependencies:

1. GDAL 2.1.3 (VS2010, x64 build) from GISInternals. A direct download link is here.
2. Install. Add the installation dir into PATH system environmental variables.
3. Add GDAL_DATA=%GDALInstallDir%/gdal_data and PROJ_LIB=%GDALInstallDir%/projlib variable to the system environmental variables
4. (Optional) Verify all dependent DLLs are searchable. You may use Dependency Walker
5. Run test_gdal.m

For other version, you should adjust makefile.win32 and setup C compilers for MATLAB.

Install gdal via homebrew, then should be same with Linux
