Unknown compiler error message

I am trying to generate static C++ code from my matlab code, but it says build filed due to the following error ??? Unknown compiler ''. I am working on R2012b, and when I type 'ver' on command window it shows I have: Matlab coder v2.3 and Matlab compiler v4.18

any hint?

Have you done

mex -setup

Yes, thanks

First, you need to have an actual compiler installed on your system. The Matlab "compiler" does not include one.

Once this is accomplished you need to associate that compiler with Matlab: run "mbuild -setup" from the Matlab command line. It's all covered in the compiler documention.

Isn't mbuild for MATLAB Compiler? Generating C++ code is a task for MATLAB Coder, which appears to use mex, at least according to a recent Question I looked into.
