Matlab mex code not compiling using a Makefile - Undefined Reference

I have a matlab mex extension which I want to compile using a Makefile. The Linker does not seem to find the mex libraries. Here is the Makefile:

MEXSUFFIX  = mexa64
IX  = mexa64
MATLABHOME = /usr/local/MATLAB/R2013b
MEX        = g++
MEXCXX     = echo
CXX        = g++

CFLAGS = -fPIC -pthread -DMATLAB_MEX_FILE -ansi -D_GNU_SOURCE -fno-omit-frame-pointer -pthread -O3 -DNDEBUG

LIBS      = -lm
INCLUDE   = -I$(MATLABHOME)/extern/include -Icommon
#g++
MEXFLAGS =  -shared -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,-rpath-link,$(MATLABHOME)/bin/glnxa64 -L$(MATLABHOME)/bin/glnxa64 -lmx -lmex -lmat -lm

PROJECTS = residualfm
MEXDIR = ..

all: $(PROJECTS)

residualfm: residualfm/functions.o
    $(MEX) $(MEXFLAGS) $(LIBS) -o $(MEXDIR)/$@.$(MEXSUFFIX) $^

.cpp.o:
    $(CXX) -c -o $@ $< $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDE)

clean:
    rm -f common/*.o
    for proj in $(PROJECTS); do \
        rm -f $$proj/*.o; \
        rm -f $(MEXDIR)/$$proj.$(MEXSUFFIX); \
    done

and here my filestructure:

$ ls *
Makefile  mex.kdev4  sfr_mex.sln  sfr_mex.suo  sfr_mex.v11.suo

residualfm:
DllMain.cpp             residualfm_variant.def           stdafx.h
functions.cpp           residualfm_variant.vcxproj       timing.cpp
functions.o             residualfm_variant.vcxproj.user
maxflow_classic_boykov  stdafx.cpp

Here is the error:

Compiling from matlab using mex functions.cpp works fine

edit: Thanks for the hints! Solved (but not understood):

Changing the order in residualfm: residualfm/functions.o from:

$(MEX) $(MEXFLAGS) $(LIBS) -o $(MEXDIR)/$@.$(MEXSUFFIX) $^

to

$(MEX) -o $(MEXDIR)/$@.$(MEXSUFFIX) $^ $() $(MEXFLAGS) $(LIBS)

solved the problem. Can someone explain this?

Linked libraries must come after the file being compiled in the command-line
