Help with 'Make Error' in Simulink

I am running a simulation in Simulink and get the following error. I am compiling with Windows SDK (current version). I tried to delete the slprj folder it generates but it still throws this. I've also tried switching to the visual c++ 2010 express and I get a similar error.

I would appreciate any help.

Looks like Stateflow (or an Embedded MATLAB Function block) is generating C code that strains against Visual Studio's limitation for number of levels of nested parentheses. Please report this to MathWorks Tech Support - they might be able to suggest a workaround and file a bug report if this is indeed a bug.

Ok thanks, I don't know much about what the code is doing in the background. I'll send this to MathWorks.

[Rajan]

Any update on this? I'm having the same problem. I'm using MATLAB Function blocks in Simulink, and Microsoft Software Development Kit (SDK) 7.1 (2010).

Have you tried putting the project in a directory lower down in the C: drive

e.g. move

C:\Users\Ian\Documents\School\D+C Robotics\Wing Robot Project\ MATLAB Simulation Files \

to

C:\ MATLAB Simulation Files \
