Does MinGW compiler from Add-Ons on MATLAB cause any problem with MinGW on system?

I already have MinGW-w64 on my computer. If I install the MinGW-w64 compiler from Add-Ons on MATLAB, do these two interfer with each other?

You can test the MinGW® compiler by building the yprime.c example. Copy the source file to a writable folder.

copyfile(fullfile(matlabroot,'extern','examples','mex','yprime.c'),'.','f')

If you only have the MinGW compiler installed on your system, the mex command automatically chooses MinGW. Go to the next step. However, if you have multiple C or C++ compilers, use mex -setup to choose MinGW.

mex -setup

Build the MEX file.

mex yprime.c

MATLAB displays a “Building with” message showing what compiler was used to build the MEX file.

Run the function.

yprime(1,1:4)

Thank you for your reply.

When I tried

mex -setup

only with MinGW on my computer, I got error saying MATLAB could not find any compiler.(Sorry actual error was japanese.)

There might be some problems with my paths though.

I found answers recomending download of MATLAB function 'configuremingw' but I did not understand where it was attached.

And, just for information, of course MinGW from Add-Ons on MATLAB enabled me building the mex file.

I put the mingw under 'C: without any space but failed. But I might find helpfull hints from the link you mentioned, so I'll check it more carefully.

Thank you!!
