This support package is currently unable to download third-party software for MATLAB R2017a and earlier versions. For details and workaround, see this Bug Report.
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.
This Add-On installs one of the following versions of MinGW GCC based on your version of MATLAB:
MATLAB R2015b, R2016a, R2016b, R2017a: MinGW GCC 4.9.2 from TDM
MATLAB R2017b and R2018a: MinGW GCC 5.3 from mingw-w64.org
MATLAB R2018b and beyond: MinGW GCC 6.3 from mingw-w64.org
Learn more about this compiler and related tools at:
http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net

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...

I have managed to build and run a mixed C/FORTRAN mex project with this add-on (using R2018a). 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.
Will there be support for FORTRAN-only mex-files using the gfortran compiler in the MinGW-w64 Add-On?

No, it does not work on R2018a. I had the same issue in R2017b and I had to download the add-on on a PC that is outside of the network using the ssi_standalone.exe (because of a certificate issue).

<SOLVED>
My version is matlab 2016a in Windows10.
I followed the Mathworks instructions, here https://it.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1741173.
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.
I hope to be clear and I hope to have helped you.

Hi, I was able to work around the download error that many seem to have had. I have Matlab R2016a.
'Download Error Received fatal alert: protocol_version'
1) manually download and unzip MinGW-w64 from MathWorks github page into a new folder C:\TDM-GCC-64
https://github.com/mathworks/MinGW_492/releases
2) follow help from MathWorks support team to manually configure MinGW for Matlab

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)
ans =
2.000000000000000 8.968491817397247 4.000000000000000 -1.094723275660229
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.

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

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.

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:

@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

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:

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.

I am trying to create and Excel Add-in using Matlab Compiler. I have tried multiple methods of installing MinGW64 Compiler as this was recommended for this purpose. I have tried using the Add-on option in Matlab, downloading the installation files separately and then installing via Matlab (as recommended in the technical support section), and installing the compiler separately and then adding environment variables to connect it to Matlab. In the error log from the compilation it says that the compiler was found, but it still crashes and claims that no supported compiler or SDK was found, and suggests I install MinGW64. Please help fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

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.
Greetings,

@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

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.

@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

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.

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:

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.

2. Manually Configure MinGW for MATLAB (https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/compiling-c-mex-files-with-mingw.html)

Once you download the file, open up matlab, navigate to where the file is located, and double click the file from within matlab "Current Folder". It will start installing itself.
This info should have been provided in the description.

This is great and it works well with several of our C mex files. It would be fantastic if the FORTRAN compiler (gfortran) was supported also. Is there anyone who has gfortran working and can provide an XML file for this? I have made fruitless tries myself with timestwo.F. It compiles without error but the linker returns errors.

@Abdul - You can find a list of supported compilers for MATLAB Compiler SDK at the following link. Sounds like you will need to install one of these.

@Amit – What releases of MATLAB do you have installed? It may be that the .mlpkginstall file is not finding the correct version of MATLAB.
@Jay and @Sachin – It’s tough to say why the download may not be working. The best action would be to contact Technical Support and share details like a screenshot of the error. You might also check out the following links.

@Galen – MinGW Fortran is not currently supported with MATLAB.
@Lee – We’ve not seen this before. You might try running:
>> hwconnectinstaller.internal.inform('showmessage', true)
Then installing the MinGW Support Package
@Fubara – It’s tough to say what the issue is from this alone. Perhaps you can contact Technical Support and provide details about what’s in the make.m file along with the verbose output from MEX.
@Vladi - MinGW is not supported with deployment products. You might try MSVC or SDK 7.1 for deployment products.

This installer worked well, but it did not include the MINGW Fortran package that I need (I am linking to Lapack). Is there any way to include Fortran with this? I tried manually installing the package from sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/TDM-GCC%20Installer/Previous/1.1309.0/) but Matlab is not able to see the installation and link to it when I run the command "mex -setup" The simplest thing to do would be to add Fortran to the package.

Installation went just fine. However, I can't compile code using OpenMP, since I keep getting
gcc: error: libgomp.spec: No such file or directory
Sure enough, no such file exists on my machine. Usually, in mingw you can select packages to install (maybe OpenMP was not selected), but here I don't know how to add a package to the install.
omp.h is found allright.

@Ben – Good observation. We’ve now removed the checkbox (for 15b and 16a). Note that MinGW is not a supported compiler for MATLAB Compiler which can be used to create Microsoft Excel add-ins. You can see a list of supported compilers here: http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2016a/

I was using Excel add-in where C++ compiler is needed. The error message recommends me of adding MinGW-w64. It seems I added it successfully, but Excel add-in cannot find the compiler anyway.

No success in installing. Found minGW in Add-on explorer, klicked Add and it went on forever, nothing happened, no network activity associated with MATLAB. Random community toolboxes and the like works though. Also tried to download and install separately as proposed by Brian Snider but I cannot get MATLAB to recognize it (I unchecked the tick box during install and ensured library name had no spaces). Not sure what Brian means when he says that addon installer will recognize it.

For those having issues installing this add-on you can go to source forge and manually install TDM-GCC-64 Version 4.9.2, Once that is installed you can run the addon installer in matlab and it will detect the correct version of TDM is installed and successfully register the add-on.

301 Moved Permanently
The resource has been moved to {https://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/TDM-GCC%20Installer/Previous/1.1309.0/tdm64-gcc-4.9.2-3.exe/download}; you should be redirected automatically.
I appreciate if you could check into this and if applicable fix the add on.
Dave Bergstein (view profile)
@Luqman - There is a check box for updates during the installation. If you do not clear the check box, TDM-GCC installs an unsupported version and MATLAB displays the following error message: "MinGW compiler not setup for use with MEX. Please install MinGW version 4.9.2"
In this case you should uninstall and then reinstall the compiler from the Add-Ons menu. Be sure to clear the box for "Check for updated files on the TDM-GCC Server".

Dave Bergstein (view profile)
@Abbas: Thanks for sharing this comment. Hopefully I can clear this up a bit for others.
The File Exchange entry installs support for the MinGW GCC version 4.9.2 from TDM-GCC along with the MinGW GCC compiler. Be sure to uncheck the update box as described in the help link to avoid installing a different version of MinGW (should be GCC 4.9.2). The version number 15.2.1 that you see refers to the whole package (MATLAB compiler support and the compiler), it is not necessarily related to the version of GCC installed.
Abbas Cheddad (view profile)
I followed the exact instructions. When "Select support package to install" window pops-up, a display of MinGW Ver. 4.9.2 on the left hand side panel is displayed but on the right hand side one Ver 15.2.1 is displayed instead. Unchecking the update check-box is useless in this case as it installs Ver 15.2.1 anyway.
Even on the main Add On window it says:
"MATLAB Support for the MinGW-w64 C/C++ Compiler from TDM-GCC version 15.2.1.0"
And right underneath it:
"Install the MinGW-w64 compiler for Windows (GCC version 4.9.2)"!!
