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.
