Installation T-MATS Windows 10

[obliz...@gmail.com]

Hi.

I have a problem during the installation of T-MATS; my PC has WINDOWS 10 and I am using MATLAB R2015a. 

That's the error: 

Error using Install_TMATS (line 71)

No supported compiler or SDK was found. For options, visit 

http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2015a/win64.html.

Using this link I try to install SDK 7.1, but it doesn't work. Considering the fact that I have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable why there is a problem about a compiler?

Thank you!

It sounds like you may not have setup a c compiler to be used with matlab. If you use the command " mex -setup", there should be a few options about selecting one.

Encountered the same problem. My understanding: it is due to Windows 10 coming pre-installed with a particular SDK that the version of Matlab I had did not support. A simple fix for this would be to uninstall the pre-loaded sdk and install the right one but Windows 10 does not allow removal of the sdk it comes with. Option 2 is to install the new sdk parallel to the pre-loaded one but the sdk installer doesn't allow that. Eventually I gave up and now I just run T-MATS on a Windows 7 pc.

This is an interesting problem. I will open up a T-MATS issue to look into other compilers,  perhaps we can get it working with gnu and come up with a method to link MATLAB to that alternate compiler.

As an update, I managed to get an alternate compiler to work with MATLAB v 2015aSP1. I can not test it with Windows 10, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.  It operates by overwriting the mexopts.bat file to force matlab to look at another location for the compiler. Note,it did not show up when I did "mex -setup".

Anyway, the package is gnumex. I installed it and compiled the T-MATS functions then tested it with a couple of blocks with no issues.  There were a few warnings, but no real catches. 

It is located at: http://gnumex.sourceforge.net/

After some tinkering I am able to run 2 Matlab compilation setups on Windows 10:

• As you suggested above - Matlab R2013a with gnumex (GCC 4.4.7).
• Haven't tried gnumex with R2015a. A quick look at the list of supported compilers for R2015a and R2015b shows that MinGW support was only added in R2015b

• Courtesy of this post on Matlab Answers I have R2015a working with Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Professional. Installed "Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 with update 4" to get the "Visual C++ 2013 Professional"

Marwa,  

Glad to hear you were able to get it working.  Before I release the newest version of T-MATS I will have to make sure it runs in v2015b. 

Currently, the newest T-MATS version is slated to be released as compatible with v2015aSP1.  I have noticed MATLAB seems to be fairly good about being forward compatible, but not as good with being backwards compatible, so we should probably be ok.
