Error when building model in simulink "Error(s) encountered while building model"

330 views (last 30 days)
Matlab is failing to compile every block in my main. The error doesn't give me any other information except: "Error(s) encountered while building model" and then a list of all the blocks that failed to compile. The command window says "the make command returned an error of 2, 'An error occurred during the call to make' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
I'm using R2013a and one of the updates listed below must have deleted microsoft SDK 7.1 the other night. The code worked fine before these updates. After reinstalling .NET framework 4 and the SDK it's still failing to compile. I think it may be a problem with the mex or xpc setup or maybe I still need to reinstall something.
security update - microsoft visual studio 2010 xml editor
definition update - microsoft security essentials
security update - microsoft visual c++ 2008 service pack 1
security update - microsoft visual studio 2010
Any help would be appreciated

In case anyone else has this problem, here's the fix:
  1. Uninstall .NET Framework 4 and above
  2. Uninstall SDK 7.1
  3. Uninstall visual studio 2010
  4. Reinstall visual studio 2010
  5. Install .NET Framework 4 (version 4.0.30319)
  6. Uninstall Visual Studio 2010 redistributable packages (x64 and 86)
  7. Reinstall SDK 7.1 (uncheck "Visual C++ compilers" and "microsoft visual C++ 2010" during reinstall)
  8. Install SDK 7.1 patch
  9. Install Visual Studio 2012 C++ Redistributable compilers (x64 and x86 version 11.0.61030)
  10. Install .NET Framework 4.6.1 (4.6.01055 version)
  11. Repair Visual Studio 2012 C++ compilers to be safe
  12. Restart computer
  13. set up the compiler in matlab (mex -setup and xpcsetCC)

I was facing this problem from last couple of days and I had try this method to solve this problem
  1. Run Matlab run as administrator.
  2. The folder path should specify (Ex. This PC, E drive).
  3. Use folder name like Test_1 becuase I was using Test 1 so matlab could not read the floder path.
