Compiling MEX files with Visual C++ 2010 with matlab2009a

I'm trying to get MATLAB 2009a to find Visual C++ 2010, but it doesn't seem to. Is there a patch available?

One way is to do the following:

1) Start with files that already work for a previous version, such as 2008, and then modify them as Matt Fig suggested. e.g., start with the following files:

msvc90engmatopts.bat

msvc90opts.bat

msvc90opts.stp

2) Copy them to new files with 100 instead of 90. e.g.,

msvc100engmatopts.bat

msvc100opts.bat

msvc100opts.stp

3) Edit these new files and make obvious changes:

2008 --> 2010

9.0 --> 10.0

90 --> 100

9 --> 10

and in the msvc100opts.stp file make the additional change:

"15.0" --> "16.0"

You will have to modify a couple of the MATLAB bat files in order for the option to be seen. Alternatively, you could download VC++ 2008 or so.

Is that complicated to do?

I assume you mean editing the files. Well, I wasn't able to do it myself, but another regular around here offered to help me. As I don't know how he feels about me giving out his work and/or contact info, I cannot say more about it. I guess it would depend on your skill level. Good luck.

The most reliable thing to do is get a supported compiler: http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/release2009a/
