Yes I checked before and now again. it's patched at the correct place. Thanks and I'm merging now.

why do you want to use libsvm on hadoop? I think it might be improper to apply kernel svm onto map reduce settings cause currently the kernel svm solver can...

I think you may want to check out LIBLINEAR [webpage](http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/liblinear/index.html) and [github page](https://github.com/cjlin1/liblinear). in some cases, Linear SVMs give good enough performance and get way faster than Kernel SVM.

how did you compile your mex files? and are there any warning messages while compiling? In matlab/README, they recommend to compile mex files by typing 'make' in Matlab environment. or...

I uploaded `windows/train.exe` onto website VirusTotal for virus scanning. The results suggest that the binary should be clean. https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/b13f9f8e0e990e5768d642b879e621805764a4174e3caf4bf179144b2ad0d912/detection

You should try "nmake -f Makefile.win lib" to generate .dll file.

Hi, @CharlesMei I find the problem is the authors forget to add somethings in linear.def, Here is one of the solutions for now, in linear.def, add a line of code:...

BTW, I think the dll file in liblinear-2.01 is already 64-bit version, why do you need to re-generate the dll?

Another solution may be implementing a simple random number generator according to glibc's rand(). (which is roughly a simple [linear congruential generator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator)) please refer to the [source code](https://code.woboq.org/userspace/glibc/stdlib/random_r.c.html#__random_r) in glibc....

@smarie btw, could you explain why the fix in [FAQ](http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/liblinear/FAQ.html#windows_binary_files) is incorrect? do you mean that by applying the above modification, the behavior in windows is still not the same...
