Integrating MATLAB R2014a with Visual Studio 2013

Hello,

I have Visual Studio 2013 Premium installed. It was installed using its defaults.

I try to integrate it with MATLAB by 'mex -setup' yet MATLAB can't locate it.

I tried rebooting as suggested here: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/120713-matlab-r2014a-and-visual-studio-professional-2013

Yet still the same result. The System variable is well defined.

Moreover, I tried those manual configurations:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/44408-matlab-mex-support-for-visual-studio-2013--and-mbuild-

With failure.

What could it be?

Royi - turn verbosity on for the MEX setup so that you can see what MATLAB is checking for when searching for compilers. In the Command Window type

 mex -setup -v

and paste the results here.

Hi Geoff,

Thank You, I will do that.

Update:

It seems I managed to have VS 2013 on my list. Yet when I try to use 'loadlibrary' as in the documentation:

http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/loadlibrary.html

Using the code:

addpath(fullfile(matlabroot,'extern','examples','shrlib'))
loadlibrary('shrlibsample')

I get the following error: "The specified key is not present in this container.".

I get this error also when I hit:

mex.getCompilerConfigurations

It seems something is corrupted with my configuration. How can I reset it?

Thanks.

Royi - what was the result of running mex -setup -v, or is that no longer an issue? As for resetting your MEX configuration, you could look at the mex_ xml files that have been generated when running through mex -setup. On my mac, these files are located at /Users/geoff/.matlab/R2014a and are

 mex_C++_maci64.xml  
 mex_C_maci64.xml  
 mex_FORTRAN_maci64.xml

Not having observed the behaviour that you are experiencing, I'm not sure what your next step should be. Perhaps just moving (or renaming) your mex_C++ file would allow you to "reset the configuration".

You have tech support with the compiler. The compiler is very expensive so I'd recommend you get your money's worth and call the Mathworks.

Hi Geoff, I used those for configuration:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/45878-setting-microsoft-visual-c++-2013-as-default-mex-compiler

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/44408-matlab-mex-support-for-visual-studio-2013--and-mbuild-

Then suddenly I had it on the list when I used mex -setup -v.

But now I left with errors.

As you can see, they change files within MATLAB's folder.

ImageAnalyst, I get the compiler at work. I don't leave in the USA, the support here isn't as good or as fast as in this Forum.

Royi - I'm not sure what you mean by As you can see, they change files within MATLAB's folder. Do you mean they change when you run the setup?

Following Image Analyst's suggestion to contact support should most likely be the next step for you.
