Help me with cross correlation, please.

Hi!

I'm porting a little Matlab function in C language. My problems raise with
xcorr() function. I need to calculate raw correlation (without
normalization) between two vectors. I've found this code
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/miscellaneous/correlate/ , but it
calculates only a normalized correlation coefficient. However, I've tried
to adjust it to calculate a raw correlation vector, but results are wrongs
(compared with Matlab). I've also made other trials (i.e. using
convolution), but all without success. I don't know what can I do. Isn't
there xcorr() source code?

P.S. : I'm completely newbie on DSP and signal theory
P.S.2: I need to calculate xcorr() without FFT (for the moment)

If you need any source code, ask for it.

I don't do Matlab, but maybe these will help:

definition and example of non-normalized cross-correlation:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/25334405/The-Discrete-Fourier-Transform-Part-6-Cross-Correlation

I think the above is so long that it might wrap-around.  If so, just
concatenate the following:

(and)
The-Discrete-Fourier-Transform-Part-6-Cross-Correlation


There's also these for Matlab xcorr( ):
