I am trying to generate a c/c++ dynamic library file from some image processing code to use in visual studio. However when I run the coder and verify the code, I get an error saying it cannot open include file 'stddef.h' I did a search on my C: drive and found three versions of it in the following locations:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10150.0\ucrt
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10240.0\ucrt
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10586.0\km\crt

At first I tried adding only one of the locations to the search path and when that didn't work I added the three paths to the MATLAB search path but the error is still there.

The build log is shown below
