MEX is not locating VS Express 2013 compiler

Hi all

I have both VS 2010 and VS 2013 Express installed on my laptop for some reasons, but I am wondering how to make MEX locate VS 2013 compiler after running mex -setup -v (see below screenshot). By default only c++ 2010 is displayed in option [2].

Best,

Isma - what is your operation system and which version of MATLAB are you using? Both determine which C++ compiler can be used by MEX (so it may not matter if you have VS 2010 or 2013 Express). At this link, http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2015b/index.html, you can find the supported compilers for 2015b. You can modify the link to find those that are supported for your version of MATLAB.

The last Express series compiler that was supported was VS 2010 which was supported through R2011b. No VS 2013 Express compiler has never been supported by MATLAB.

Thanks for the information. But do you know if the files {libname.h libname.ctf libname.dll libname.lib} built using VS 2010 could also be used for linking projects in Express 2013? Cheers

I do not know.
