MATLAB Compiler (R2010a) issue

Hi there,

I was trying mex program.cpp.

It showed an error Error: Could not detect a compiler on local system which can compile the specified input file(s)

Then I tried mex -setup

It did not list any compilers (Only none)

I did install Windows SDK 7.1 successfully (also has MS VC++ 2010 x64 redistributable)

I have lcc 32 bit in my system

Even then compiler list is shown [0] none

Any thoughts

I just wanted to run mex program.cpp

Are you using 32 bit MATLAB or 64 bit MATLAB?

64 bit

[Madhu Kodappully]

I ran the cpp file in a different system (mex program.cpp)

Obtained the mex file

placed in the system that has 2010a

works very nicely now.

sdk 7.1 is not support for MATLAB R2010a. You need to install one of the compilers listed at http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2010a/win64.html or http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2010a/win32.html

lcc is only for 32 bit compiling, and would not be detected if you are using the 64 bit version of MATLAB.

A Redistributable is not a compiler.

Thanks for your reply. Let me try that.

Is it possible (as per the copy right act) to attach a one of these compilers to this query? I am not sure all my installations are 2 MB and they do not leave me to the right answer

The visual Studio express link on Microsoft is to a program that downloads the required files, but I do not know if you can get the 2010 that way.

Look on stackoverflow.com/questions/8119698/visual-c-sharp-2010-express-full-download for a link to a iso for the full package.
