Why is the "libfixedpoint.lib" file missing from the MSVC70 directory in Simulink?

Why is the "libfixedpoint.lib" file missing from the MSVC70 directory in Simulink?

I am using Simulink fixed-point data type support in an S-function. It appears some of the function definitions are missing and I receive linker errors pointing to unresolved external symbols.

I found that an essential .lib file, "libfixedpoint.lib" (used in fixedpoint.c file) is missing in the MSVC70 directory, but exists in the MSVC50 and MSVC60 directories. Why was this file not included?

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

This has file has been verified to be missing from the Simulink directory

$MATLAB\extern\lib\win32\microsoft\msvc70

(where $MATLAB = the MATLAB root directory on your machine)

There are currently no known workarounds.
