Simulink model build for NI Veristand fails

Hi Folks,

Everything worked fine since today morning, when I came back to office after weekend and cannot compile any model. At the end I made the simplest model ever and it did not work also. I have problem with building simulink models for NI Veristand. The model is supposed to run under PharLap on PXI, I am using NI Veristand 2012, Matlab 2012b and MS Visual Studio 2008 compiler.

When I stared building my model, it generates C code files, but at the point where makefile is to be created, the following error appears:

NI VeriStand error ==> An error occured setting the make-file command options.
Attempt to reference field of non-structure array.

There is console log of build operation:

The current model is really simple, so the second line of error is impossible:

So After that I tried several things:

• At the first I tried to compile this code for cRIO, there is another tlc template and it uses WxWorks compiler -> it worked.
• Then I had idea, that it might be something wrong with visual studio compiler, so I tried to mex some file -> it worked.

Now I am out of ideas ... Do you anybody have any idea how to make it run, or find out where is the problem ? In the attachment there is model with product of build operation.

Greetings, Vladimir.

Problem solved.

I re-installed all the stuff (Matlab,NI Veristand, Veristand Model Support, Visula Studio 2008) but nothing helped.

At the end I have found out that something had cleared out of my windows paths variable PATH (PATH "c:windows\system32"). After adding it back, it starts work again.

Hello Vladimir, I have the same problem with you except for I use matlab2015(64) matlab2012(32),Veristand2014 and Visual Studio 2010.

Could you tell me more details about the path setting? Does it mean I must install all the three software in the same disk and under the same folder?

thank you :)

 Dear zhao,
Hello，I have the same problem like this.Have you solved the problem and  could you give me some suggests or ways to solve the problem.

VeriStand: An error occurred setting the make-file command options. VeriStand: Cannot locate a supported installation of the Microsoft Visual Studio C++ tool chain. Visit www.ni.com/info and enter the Info Code ex3efp for a list of supported compiler configurations Please help me !

[periere in mare zeng]

Me too. I have the same problam ,I use matlab2014a, Veristand 2015 .Have you solved the problem?

Thank you :)

matlab2020a,Veristand 2020R4, vs2017

I got this too, anyone solved? thank you
