Real-Time Windows Target

Third Party C Compiler

Real-Time Windows Target requires one of the following C compilers not included with Real-Time Windows Target:

• Microsoft Visual C/C++ compiler - Version 5.0 or 6.0.
• Watcom C/C++ compiler - Version 10.6 and 11.0. During installation of your Watcom C/C++ compiler, be sure to specify DOS target in addition to Windows target to have the necessary libraries available for linking.

After installation run the MEX utility to select your compiler as the default compiler for building real-time applications.

Selecting a Default C Compiler

Real-Time Workshop uses the default C compiler to generate executable code, and the MEX utility uses this compiler to create MEX-files.

Use this procedure to select either a Microsoft Visual C/C++ compiler or a Watcom C/C++ compiler before you build an application. Note, the LCC compiler is not supported:

1. In the MATLAB window, type

mex -setup

MATLAB displays the following message.

Please choose your compiler for building external interface 
(MEX) files. Would you like mex to locate installed 
compilers?([y]/n):

2. Type

y

MATLAB displays the following message.

Select a compiler:
[1] : WATCOM compiler in c:\watcom
[2] : Microsoft compiler in c:\visual
[0] : None
Compiler:

3. Type a number. For example, to select the Microsoft compiler, type

2

MATLAB displays the message.

Please verify your choices:
Compiler: Microsoft 5.0
Location: c:\visual
Are these correct?([y]/n)

4. Type

y

MATLAB resets the default compiler and displays the message.

The default options file:
"C:\WINNT\Profiles\username\Application 
Data\MathWorks\MATLAB\mexopts.bat" is being updated.
