Notes for the Microsoft Windows Tables for all MATLAB 7.3 (R2006b) and Simulink 6.5 (R2006b) Related Products
-
The list that is generated when using the mex -setup and mbuild -setup commands refers to the Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 Compiler as Microsoft Visual C/C++ 7.1, and refers to the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Compiler as Microsoft Visual C/C++ 8.0. Only the Professional Edition of the Microsoft Compiler (version 6.0, 7.1 or 8.0) is officially tested and supported by the MathWorks products.
-
In order to build .NET components, the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 1.1 or 2.0 must be installed. These products are automatically installed by Visual Studio 2003 or 2005 respectively, and they can also be downloaded from the Microsoft website: http://msdn.microsoft.com.
In order to execute applications that use the resulting .NET components, the target machine must have the matching .NET Framework installed. -
Version 6 of the Borland C++ Builder is packaged with Borland C/C++ Compiler 5.6. Version 5 of the Borland C++ Builder is packaged with Borland C/C++ Compiler 5.5.
-
Fortran compilers are only supported with Simulink for creating Simulink S-functions using the MATLAB MEX command. The S-functions can be used with normal and accelerated simulations.
-
To use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with MATLAB on 64-bit systems, the "X64 Compilers and Tools" must be chosen during installation of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
-
The Compaq Visual Fortran 6.1 compiler is being phased out and will not be supported in a future release.
-
Intel compilers depend on tools provided by Microsoft development
products. The following combinations are supported by MATLAB and Simulink
related products:

Exception Handling
When using C++, the MATLAB Compiler relies on the availability of exception handling in the C++ language. Several of the supported compilers do not properly support C++ exception handling. Consequently, our support for exception handling is limited on those platforms.

-
Fortran compilers are only supported with Simulink for creating Simulink S-functions using the MATLAB MEX command. The S-functions can be used with normal and accelerated simulations.
-
The Sun Java Development Kit (JDK) versions specified here apply to the following UNIX platforms: Linux (32-bit), Linux (64-bit), and Solaris.
-
gcc is supported on Solaris for MEX-files and Simulink S-functions, but not Engine or MAT-file programs.
- To determine what compiler you are using on UNIX machines, see Solution 1-1880F.
Additional Information
Real-Time Windows Target
- Real-Time Windows Target contains a built-in compiler that is shipped with the product. The compiler used is Open Watcom and Real-Time Windows Target uses this compiler exclusively.
