This support package is currently unable to download third-party software for MATLAB R2017a and earlier versions. To install MinGW, complete the workaround instructions in the Bug Report, then return to this page and follow the instructions for R2017b and later.
MATLAB R2017b and later versions are unaffected.
MinGW-w64 is a compiler suite for Windows based on the GNU tool chain. It includes a GCC compiler and related tools for compiling C and C++ applications for Windows. C and C++ applications compiled with MinGW-w64 GCC can be called from MATLAB using MEX. This GCC compiler can also be helpful for other MathWorks products that require a C or C++ compiler.
Instructions for R2015b, R2016a, R2016b, and R2017a:
Complete the workaround instructions in the Bug Report, then follow the instructions, below, for R2017b and later.
Instructions for R2017b and later:
Select the download button, above, then double click on the file or drag it into the MATLAB Command Window to install.

I have a 2019b and have tried manually installing third party compilers TDM-GCC and MinGW64. 'mex -setup' executes correctly, but when it comes to executing the 'make' command, a red error message appears and it's an error in the undefined data type! What's the solution?

How to Install TDM-GCC Compiler (step-by-step)
Note: I have MATLAB R2017a
Step 1:
Visit the following link and install the latest version of the TDM-GCC Compiler (in my case the latest version available, as of 16/07/2020, was: TDM-GCC 9.2.0 release):
Link: https://jmeubank.github.io/tdm-gcc
The default installation location will be: C:\TDM-GCC-64
Step 2:
In MATLAB command prompt, type and run:
setenv('MW_MINGW64_LOC','C:\TDM-GCC-64')
Step 3:
In MATLAB command prompt, type and run:
mex -setup
And you are done with the stated compiler.

I don't get it why mathworks can not deliver a mex compiler with the nurmal matlab/simulink distribution. That would be a real quality of live improvement to not go though this pain of setting up a mex compiler every time you install a new matalb version.

For me, I had to download the compiler , and put it directly under C:\. Then drag the downloaded file into Matlab command window to execute it. I first put it inside a folder (without any space in the path), it didn't work. Also, I didn't have to turn off my firewall. Thanks for all the comments in this page, otherwise I couldn't have successfully installed it.

最终找到了解决方案，测试环境matlab2019b。
首先关闭windows防火墙，几乎可以确认防火墙会影响matlab下载。
其次，请使用浏览器下载“ mingw.mlpkginstall”文件，并放入C盘根目录下，再将该文件拖入matlab命令行窗口，可以有效避免【无法下载第三方软件】问题。
另：楼下提出使用TDM-GCC独立安装，再在matlab中做对应设置。这种方法很可能【不适用】于18b及以上版本，因为TDM没有5.1以上的版本~
最后吐槽下，这东西做的是真的糟心，安装这玩意花了几乎整整一天。

For people confused:
1) When I clicked on link in Matlab, it opened a web browser that didn't process the download button right (just opened a new tab). I copied the link to the browser I usually use (Chrome) and it worked fine. 我用Matlab给的web browser点download也只弹出了空白窗口。用另外一个web browser（例如Chrome), 点了download后就弹出了选择下载path的窗口。
2) Once downloaded, you can't just double click it on windows explorer. You have to use Matlab to open it. Found this instruction in the file itself *facepalm*. Thanks, Notepad++! 下载后要用Matlab来运行那个档案。
Sorry for my horrible Chinese!

Manual fix for third-party corruption:(Get undefined type 'uint_farptr_t' error)
1. Find inttypes.h indicates by compiler, copy it to ~/avr in that folder, where pgmspace.h is located.
2. Open up pgmspace.h, find the #include<inttypes.h> sentence.
3. Change it to #incluede<avr/inttypes.h>, done.
Any other environmental error could be solved in the same way I suppose, at least I pass the compilation now.

Hi there.
Did you mean I am supposed to re-install the MinGW several times before the problem I mentioned previously is solved?
Since I'v installed the MinGW already, should I unstall the MinGW first?
zaikun zhang (view profile)
This method is sucessful for me.
1.Download file: https://ww2.mathworks.cn/matlabcentral/fileexchange/52848-matlab-support-for-mingw-w64-c-c-compiler
2.In matlab,Convert current folder that includes the file downloaded in step 1
3.please double click the file to download and install
Note:One time may not be successful, you need to perform the above steps again. please trust youself.
Extra information: Window10+matlab R2018b.

I tried running the add-on and it didn't complete. I saw Kshitij's instructions in the comments and did them and it the add-on process went just fine. Removing the environment variables mentioned by Kshitij after installation was necessary on my system (I got and error when building a stand along app that went away when I removed them).
On a second machine where I wanted MinGW64 for other things, I found on another thread that I could install mingw-w64 from mingw-w64.org (version 6.3), then assign the environment variable MW_MINGW64_LOC to my selected mingw path (one level above the \bin subdirectory). The installation directory must NOT be the default in this case - it must NOT contain spaces. (as an example, I installed to C:\mingw and then set MW_MINGW64_LOC to C:\mingw\mingw64). That seems to be working great too after I ran mex -setup from inside Matlab.

I am using MATLAB 2019a on Windows 10 system with 64 bits. Initially, I was unable to install it. Mathworks support team helped me out. All I needed was to add two more systems variable using the following process.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Below are instructions for setting environment variables for various platforms.
== Windows ==
Open the* Environment Variables* dialog by following these two steps:
1) From Start *-> *Run, execute the following CPL command "sysdm.cpl", this will open the System Properties dialog
2) Click on the Advanced tab, click on the "Environment Variables..." button, this will open the Environment Variables dialog
Once in the Environment variable menu please use the steps below to set both system environment variables:
Under System Variables, select New.
Set the first variable name "JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS" with the value of "-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true" (enter these without the quotation marks)
select New again.
Set the second variable name "JAVA_OPTIONS" with the value of "-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true" (enter these without the quotation marks) and click on OK
Click OK again on the previous screen and try the installer again.
NOTE: Once the installation is complete you can remove these environment variables.

MathWorks' solution for C compilers in the newer versions is pretty much garbage when operating from a secure corporate IT environment. The add-on installer doesn't work at all because it gets hung up on the corporate firewall, and I can't access the basic download files for MinGW from the links you provide because they all wind up at Sourceforge, which is blocked by corporate web filters because it's a freeware site.
Seems like the least you could do for all we pay for MATLAB licenses is host the executables on your own site...

The mex-gateway is written in C, but when I try to build a FORTRAN-only project, like the supplied trivial timestwo.F, it does not work. It has been stated in the comments below (18 July 2017) that gnu fortran is supported, but it seems it isn't.

1) download one of the packeage at the end of the page ( for MAC, WIN, LINUX).
2) watch inside the .zip file and find the same files in the MATLAB folders, these file in the Matlab folders must be saved for safety in another folder, after that you have to replace them inside the .zip files.
3) Come back in Matlab program and download MinGW from Add-Ons, next restart Matlab and you have finish.

After logging into my MATLAB account, I installed the compiler according to the 'Download button at the top of this page. The installation seems straight forward and appeared to be a successful install as it progressed through the completion bullets and had no errors reported.
To check it, I used the page https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/install-mingw-support-package.html
and the MATLAB command window reported :
>> mex yprime.c
Building with 'MinGW64 Compiler (C)'.
MEX completed successfully.
This created a file with FileName yprime and FileExtension MEXW64 . This runs successfully as a function from the command line
>> yprime(1,1:4)

All seems well. HOWEVER, now when I attempt to create a complied library (using APPS tab and the Library Compiler in the APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT group ) I get a failure with a log file that reports the compiler was not found.
I haven't been able to figure this out. It seems to me I am missing something or, the support team needs to point to a step-by-step procedure (with verifications) to allow the installed compiler to be accessed by the application deployment tool. I have a valid license and valid installation of MATLAB R2017a.

@Fake: The MinGW support package has been recently updated in MATLAB to resolve previous download issues. Please try reinstalling MinGW through the support package in MATLAB. If you are having continued issues installing through the support package, please contact MathWorks Technical Support.

Hello,
I installed mingw w64 in Matlab r2015b. The path that mingw is saved is C:\TDM-GCC-64. After the installation I opened Matlab and i used this command setenv('MW_MINGW64_LOC','C:\TDM-GCC-64') and after this i pressed -mex filename.c- and i had this error
"Error using mex
No supported compiler or SDK was found. You can install the freely available MinGW-w64 C/C++ compiler; see

Richard Crozier (view profile)
I figured out you can just change the lib name to end '.lib' instead of '.a'. This shouldn't work since a .a file is a different structure from a .lib file, but apparently mingw-w64 is smart enough to notice the file format.
MathWorks Supported Compilers Team (view profile)
@Richard: I looked at your MATLAB Answers page and I can't discern from that warning message which LIB function it refers to, the .a or the .lib file. Please check the -l and -L usage, along with the filenames command and the complete path formatting, here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/mex.html#inputarg_filenames If you are still stuck with this usage, please contact Technical Support.
Richard Crozier (view profile)
I have the same issue as Xi Cai below. I want to link to a .a file, also produced by Mingw-w64, but mex only passes .lib file names to gcc. I attempted to link to a .a file by using the full path, as suggested by the compilers team, but this results in an error:
"$$LIB not found; check that you are in the correct current folder, and check the spelling of '$$LIB'.

@Xi
The name of the library you are looking for is “libiphlpapi.a” and it is located in the directory “$mingwroot\ x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib” for MinGW 4.9.2, where $mingwroot is your installation directory of the compiler. Since this library has a ".a" extension, it is a static library and you would need to provide the full path to the library in your MEX command. This would look something like:
mex <filename>.(c/cpp) $mingwroot\ x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib\ libiphlpapi.a.
Hope this helps
Xi Cai (view profile)
I am using Matlab 2017a, and I have installed the MinGW successfully. But I have an error as below:
"MEX cannot find library 'Iphlpapi' specified with the -l option.
MEX looks for a file with one of the names:
libIphlpapi.lib
Iphlpapi.lib
Please specify the path to this library with the -L option."
Doesn't MinGW have the iphlpapi.lib? Any idea to solve this problem? Thanks a lot.

I have discovered that MinGW is not compatible with MATLAB R2015a.
Instead I was able to use SDK 7.1 on windows 10.
To help others do this, If you install SDK 7.1 from this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279
and still have problems, such as typing into MATLAB
mex -setup
and then receiving the error:
No supported SDK or compiler was found on this computer.
For a list of supported compilers, see
<http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2012a/win64.html>
This means that you need to follow the instructions on this page:
https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/95039-why-does-the-sdk-7-1-installation-fail-with-an-installation-failed-message-on-my-windows-system

Hi @all,
currently I had to reinstall the MinGw64 Compiler again and encountered the same error I encountered during December of last year (2016).
The solution again was to directly download the files mentioned in the FAQ from Sourceforge an placing them manualy in the downloadfolder used by Matlab for thirdParty sotware.
I also write-protected the files to prevent them from beeing overwritten by the installer, since at least one file was change during the execution of the installer.
Please use the following link, to prevent to be directed to a mirror (the links in the FAQ still follow to at least one different file. I tested it several times in a row, and mostly the core zip-file sometimes changes in size (?!?!) ... therefore:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tdm-gcc/GNU%20binutils/Previous/binutils-2.24.51-20140703-tdm64-1.zip

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tdm-gcc/TDM-GCC%204.9%20series/4.9.2-tdm64-1/gcc-4.9.2-tdm64-1-core.zip
Place these files according to the FAQ (https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/313286-why-do-i-see-a-java-util-zip-zipexception-error-in-my-installer-log-file-when-i-try-to-install-the) and render them write-protected (better safe than sorry).
Afterwards run the installer again and hope for the best.
I could reproduce this beahviour several times, therefore I think, there is a bug regarding the mirror-versions delivered by SourceForge.

@JensHamann I had the same problem and was able to solve it by doing this:
(source -> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8552580/using-gcc-mingw-as-matlabs-mex-compiler)
If you couldn't install Mingw-w64 using the Add-Ons toolbar of Matlab2016b on Windows, you can use this workaround. Keep this in mind that you need to change the paths according to your installation paths.
- The Mingw-w64 official website redirects you to Win-builds project which is a package manager for a bundle of open source development tools. So, first you need to install the Win-builds.
While installing Win-builds, make sure you are entering a path that does not contain any spaces e.g. C:\Win-builds.
http://win-builds.org/doku.php
- After installing Win-builds, just hit the Process button to install all packages where Mingw-w64 is among them.
- Now that you installed Mingw-w64, you need to define the MW_MINGW64_LOC environment variable which Matlab uses it to detect Mingw-w64.
- To define the environment variable do the following steps:
Control panel\ System\ Advanced system settings\ Advanced\ Environment Variable\ User variables for $YOUR_USER_NAME\ New
- Put Variable name = MW_MINGW64_LOC and Variable value = C:\Win-builds. Notice that the Win-builds puts all executables in C:\Win-builds\bin and by defining this variable, Matlab will automatically scans the bin folder of the path looking for gcc.exe.
- In Matlab, select MinGW compiler to compile C code by executing this:
mex -setup
- Now that you installed the Mingw-w64 and defined the MW_MINGW64_LOC environment variable, it is time to build and test the yprime example. So Launch Matlab and type the following command (Do not forget to modify the path accordingly):
mex -v 'C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2016b\extern\examples\mex\yprime.c'
- A successful installation will show the following message:
MEX completed successfully.
- Finally, you can test your installation by typing yprime(1,1:4). The answer would be:
ans = 2.0000 8.9685 4.0000 -1.0947

Any one who knows what to do? I have unstall whole matlab, add ons and so on but nothing works :(

If your error message is
"Error installing third party software MinGW 4.9.2 Core: java.util.zip.ZipException: archive is not a ZIP archive"
Step 1 : Open the download folder
For example. My matlab version is R2015b.
I need to open
"C:\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2015b\downloads\mingw_download"
Step 2 : Check all zip file
If your zip size are all only 1KB, you need to download them manually.
For example. There are 5 zip in my folder which are:
"binutils-2.24.51-20140703-tdm64-1.zip"
"gcc-4.9.2-tdm64-1-c++.zip"
"gcc-4.9.2-tdm64-1-core.zip"
"gdb-7.8.1-tdm64-3.zip"
"mingw64runtime-v3-git20141130-gcc49-tdm64-1.zip"
These 5 files with the same filename can be found in following website"
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/
Step 3 : Continue the installation
If you have closed "mingw.mlpkginstall", re-open it and run.

Installation via add-on broken for me on Win7 running 2016a, comes back with 'third party error.' In the end I followed Samuel Whiteley's comment by installing MingGW manually, and configuring in settings. Restarted MatLAB and it worked. Thanks Samuel!

Hello u all,
i try to install the MINGW-W64 package for compiling C programs on W8.1 Pro Microsoft OS platforms from Matlab with mex command.
Each attempt fails at the installation of the third-party software.
Does anybody already fix such a pb?
The package was download from TDM.
I thank you in advance.

I was receiving the same error as Christian, however when I tried the steps outlined in the FAQ (using the unconnected computer) the error switched from "There was a problem installing the third-party software. To resolve this issue, contact Technical Support" to "Something Unexpected Occurred"

@Christian – Thanks for the feedback. I encourage you to share your comments on MATLAB Answers.
The links you share should redirect to the same location as the links in the MATLAB Answers FAQ, although sometimes they each direct to different mirror sites. The problem may be with the mirrors and not the links.
Could you try the FAQ links again and let us know if they still don’t work for you?
Christian (view profile)
Again a long story short...
After some troubleshooting, it seems like the java-code behind this support-package seems to run into some problems downloading the necessairy files from Sourceforge.
While the FAQ generally is correct in replacing the files in
<Downloadfolder>\Mathworks\SupportPackage\R2016b\archives\...
the files with which you are supposed to do so are not correct.
The installer itself tries to download the following files:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tdm-gcc/GNU%20binutils/Previous/binutils-2.24.51-20140703-tdm64-1.zip
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tdm-gcc/MinGW-w64%20runtime/GCC%204.9%20series/mingw64runtime-v3-git20141130-gcc49-tdm64-1.zip
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tdm-gcc/TDM-GCC%204.9%20series/4.9.2-tdm64-1/gcc-4.9.2-tdm64-1-c%2B%2B.zip
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tdm-gcc/GDB/Previous/gdb-7.8.1-tdm64-3.zip
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tdm-gcc/TDM-GCC%204.9%20series/4.9.2-tdm64-1/gcc-4.9.2-tdm64-1-core.zip
Please use these, to download the third-party tools from Sourceforge and put them in the aformentioned folder. (Please refer to the FAQ !!!!)
This helped me, I hope this will also fix your problems.
PS.: Hope the support does change the links in the FAQ and can initiate a revision of the support-package java-code.

Christian (view profile)
And somewhat, my previous comment is gone ...
Long story short (this time):
The installer had 'acces denied' problem. And I had to take ownership of the folderstructure containing the support package:
(Windows) <Downloadfolder>\Mathworks\SupportPackages\R2016b\archives\
But afterwards I still remained with the already mentiond error message from my previous post, although all zip files stoped corrupting. At least to what I can see.
