"Fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file". Error in compiling Fortran code

Hello everyone!

I am trying to compile a Fortran function by using Intel Parallel Studio XE 2017 for Fortran with Microsoft Visual Studio 2017. I run the following command specifying the compiler:

mex -largeArrayDims Gaussian_Quadratures.o  -f 'C:\Users\Ludo\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2018a\mex_FORTRAN_win64.xml' -v

The error i obtain is:

Error using mex
Gaussian_Quadratures.o : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or
corrupt file: cannot read at 0x1708

By searching on internet I found that should be something related to the linked library in Visual Studio, but I am not understanding exactly what I should do. Could anyone help me? I thank you in advance!
