how can I get matlab aware of a installed compiler

I'm using matlab 2016b and I need to compile C files, I installed a suggested compiler: mingw-w64-install.exe in a folder without spaces "c:\mingw-w64" but when I execute from matlab command line "mex -setup" I get >> mex -setup c Error using mex No supported compiler or SDK was found. You can install the freely available MinGW-w64 C/C++ compiler; see Install MinGW-w64 Compiler. For more options, visit http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2016b/win64.html.

It is my understanding that you installed the recommended compiler MinGW 4.9.2 C/C++, yet still got the “No supported compiler or SDK was found” error when executing command “mex -setup”.

You may refer to this MATLAB Answers post by the MathWorks Support Team:

If this does not resolve the issue, check out the doc page for some general troubleshooting steps to compile MEX files with MinGW-w64.
