Dear all,

I have installed MATLAB Version 7.5.0.342 (R2007b) and afterwards Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 (Express Edition). Now, I want to register the compiler to Matlab. My background is that I want to compile several .cpp files with the mex-compiler. So, I need the Microsoft solution.

When I call "mex -setup" only the LCC compiler is being found. Even if I add the VisualStudioC++ path to Matlab.

What can I do to get the VisualStudioC++ in the "mex -setup" menu?

Please, be so kind an help me. Thank you very much. Regards, Kevin

Hi

Visual C++ 2010 Express is not compatible with your version of matlab. You can either upgrade your Matlab version or use one of the supported compilers listed here:

Hope this helps

Hi Kevin,

This happens when you use non-english version of Windows.

Say "n" to the following question after you enter "mex -setup"
Would you like mex to locate installed compilers [y]/n?

Then select your compiler and check if the location is correct.

Hope it works.

Similar problem here. Your suggestion does not yet solve the problem. It only gives you the chance of selecting the compiler manually. But a noob like me still does not know how to do it. Seems to be a general problem with Matlab 2007b x64. The compatibility list states Visual C++ 2005 Professional to be a suitable compiler, but since I don't have it I don't know what to do :-(
