Hello,

I need to compile a .cpp file in my Matlab 7.5.0 Win XP 64-bit but when I type 'mex -setup', it says the following:

Please choose your compiler for building external interface (MEX) files: 
 
Would you like mex to locate installed compilers [y]/n? y
 
Select a compiler: 
 
[0] None 
 
Compiler: 0

I am new to compiling with Matlab.  I do not have Visual Studio installed on this computer.  Is it necessary to have this installed?  Can I download and install the appropriate compiler from a website?

Thanks for any help!
