Embedded MATLAB™

Setting Up the C Compiler

Before using Embedded MATLAB MEX, you must set up your C compiler by running mex -setup, as described in the documentation for mex in the MATLAB Function Reference. You must run this command even if you use the default C compiler that comes with MATLAB for Windows^® platforms. You can also use mex to choose and configure a different C compiler, as described in What You Need to Build MEX-Files in the MATLAB External Interfaces documentation.

Supported Compilers for Generating MEX Functions

You can use the following compilers to generate MEX functions with Embedded MATLAB MEX:

• Lcc-win32 C 2.4.1

• Microsoft^® Visual C++^® 2008 Express

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2005

• Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003

• Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
