Notes for the Microsoft Windows Tables for all MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a) and Simulink 6.6 (R2007a) Related Products
-
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition requires the MSSdk variable to be defined in the Windows environment when used with MATLAB and related products. The value of this environment variable is the path to the installation directory for Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003. This environment variable is not usually defined by the Microsoft Platform SDK installation program.
-
In order to build .NET components, Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 1.1 or 2.0 must be installed. These products are automatically installed by Visual Studio 2003 or 2005, respectively. 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 supported with Simulink only 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, "X64 Compilers and Tools" must be chosen during installation of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
-
These compilers are being phased out and will not be supported in some future release.
-
Intel compilers depend on tools provided by Microsoft development products. The following combinations are supported by MATLAB and Simulink related products:

These compilers are not supported on Windows Vista.
-
MATLAB Builder for .NET supports building .NET Assemblies but not COM Objects when using the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK without Microsoft Visual Studio.
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 supported with Simulink only 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 (64-bit).
-
There is a bug in the Sun Studio 11 C++ 5.8 compiler that can, in some instances, cause incorrect results. Sun has released Patch 120760-12 2007/03/19 to address the issue. For more information, see Solution 1-431HK0.
-
gcc is supported on Solaris for MEX-files and Simulink S-functions, but not Engine or MAT-file programs.
Additional Information
- What products do I need to buy in addition to a compiler?
- To determine the version of your compiler on Linux/UNIX/Mac machines, see Solution 1-1880F.
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.
