I am trying to run spm12 with matlab 2023b on my macOS but I got this error when I type spm and I have already installed xcode14 from App Store

SPM uses a number of MEX files, which are compiled functions.
These need to be compiled for the various platforms on which SPM
is run. It seems that the compiled files for your computer platform
are missing or not compatible. See
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/SPM/Installation_on_64bit_Mac_OS_(Intel)
for information about how to compile MEX files for MACA64
in MATLAB 23.2.0.2391609 (R2023b) Update 2.

Hello, I am having this same issue, and the above answer does not work for me. Here's my system:
- Apple M1 Sonoma
- Matlab 2023b

Hello,
For SPM12, on my M2-based PowerBook Pro, I succeeded compiling mexmaca64 mex files using the following procedure:
  • In spm12/src, I edited "Makefile.var" and replaced "mexmaci64" with "mexmaca64" in the MacOS section:
  • ##### MacOS #####
  • ifeq (Darwin,$(PLATFORM))
  • MEXEXT = mexmaca64
  • ...
  • In spm12/src, I edited "Makefile" and added in the "Display Messages" section a line to handle mexmaca64:
  • verb.mexmaci64:
  • $(call verb, "MacOS compilation (Intel 64 bit)")
  • verb.mexmaca64:
  • $(call verb, "MacOS compilation (ARM 64 bit)")
  • After that, the commands "make" and "make install" both run successfully (current directory being spm12/src).
  • I edited spm12/external/src/geometry.c, to add:
  • #include "mex.h"
  • after #include "geometry.h".
  • Then, the command:
  • CFLAGS="-I/PathTo/MATLAB_R2023b.app//extern/include/" make external
  • succeeds, as well as
  • make external-install.
  • I further edited spm12/spm_platform.m to insert the line:
  • 'MACA64', 'unx', 0;...
  • after the line
  • 'MACI64', 'unx', 0;...
  • and changed
  • case {'MAC','MACI','MACI64'}
  • to
  • case {'MAC','MACI','MACI64','MACA64'}
  • in the switch comp cases.
It should be easy to further adapt so that both mexmaci64 and mexmaca64 could be compiled depending on the CPU architecture underlying the particular Darwin platform.
Now, it seems that the developer version of SPM (on github.com) includes already mexmaca64 files...

hello, I met the same issue. I did as the steps mentioned above.
But at the step make && make install step, I got this message:

I tried download the dev version spm again, but it still failed.
Do you have any suggestion, here is my system.

I had similar issues as NADA and Lorenzo. What worked for me was doing the changes to Makefile and Makefile.var as Laurent suggested. In Makefile.var I also changed MEXBIN to
MEXBIN = /Applications/MATLAB_R2023b.app/bin/mex
and in this line
MEXOPTS = -O -largeArrayDims
I changed the "-" because it might have gotten misread by the system. I don't know if that changed anythong though.
I then changed MACI64 to MACA64 in a few places in spm_platform to get SPM to start.

Just install SPM12 the developers version.
