Generating Mex Files For Arduino Drivers - MS Compiler Not Working

I am trying to use existing Arduino libraries with the S-Function Builder or Legacy Code Tool (same result). Particularly, I am trying to use the Time library to bring Hour and Minute into my model. This problem also applies to most of the libraries that I have tried.

The problem is that Time.h and Time.cpp include keywords and syntax for the Arduino compiler (avr-gcc). The Microsoft compiler that is set up with my Matlab/Simulink installation chokes on this code.

I can set up sfunctions using the regular Arduino.h library... such as digital/analog IO, but when I try to use interfaces from other libraries, I run into this issue.

Question is: How can I create drivers without trying to change my compiler selection? I know setting avr-gcc is not one of the compilers that is recommended to be used with my matlab-simulink installation

My question has been answered here http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/39354-device-drivers. I needed to change the wrapper file extension from c to cpp, and add extern "C" before the function call in the wrapper. This did the trick.
