error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'mex.h': No such file or directory

Hi,

I am trying to complete this set of instructions https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/windows#build When I build on visual studio, it says error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'mex.h': No such file or directory.

But I have mex already set up. Because when I type mex -setup in matlab it says

MEX configured to use 'Microsoft Windows SDK 7.1 (C++)' for C++ language compilation. Warning: The MATLAB C and Fortran API has changed to support MATLAB variables with more than 2^32-1 elements. In the near future you will be required to update your code to utilize the new API. You can find more information about this at: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/upgrading-mex-files-to-use-64-bit-api.html. >>

Someone help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :((((((

You have to setup your include directories in Visual Studio in order for it to know where to find header files to include. This will need to point to wherever you have mex.h and the other required includes on your machine.
