I have recently installed Matlab R2008b.  I understand that there is
no default lcc compiler for 64 bit, and that a free compiler can be
used:

Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2

I have this SDK platform installed, but when I run  "mex -setup"  in
Matlab, I see absolutely zero [0] options for choices of compiler, so
Matlab simply does not recognize the existence of this installation.

What do I have to do to use the SDK platform to compile with mex?  Why
doesn't Matlab recognize it?  Is it a matter of setting an environment
variable?

Thanks,
Jim
