Problem loading shared library into MATLAB (64-bit)

Dear all,

I have a problem working with an SDK-kit for an EEG recording system.

I have a shared library that I wish to use.

The error message is as shown:

Error using loadlibrary (line 418)
Building mat1_thunk_pcwin64 failed.  Compiler output is:
cl -I"D:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013b\extern\include"   /W3  /D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
/D_SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE /D_SECURE_SCL=0  /nologo  -I"C:\Users\Jonas\Documents\MATLAB"
-I"C:\Users\Jonas\Documents\MATLAB\NicoletSDK\MFiles" "mat1_thunk_pcwin64.c" -LD
-Fe"mat1_thunk_pcwin64.dll"
mat1_thunk_pcwin64.c

(above lines repeating)

Error in NicOpen (line 27)
loadlibrary('MatlabSDK.dll','MatlabSDK.h','alias','mat1');

The following is the header file (MatlabSDK.h):

#ifdef MATLABSDK_EXPORTS
#define MATLABSDK_API extern "C" __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define MATLABSDK_API extern "C" __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

MATLABSDK_API int OpenEx(char* strFileName, int* picSegments);
MATLABSDK_API int GetSegmentTime(double* pdSegmentDuration, double* pdSegmentStartTime);
MATLABSDK_API int GetSegmentInf(int liSegment, double* pdaMaxSampingRate, long* plaSampleCount);
MATLABSDK_API int GetSegment(double dStartTime);
MATLABSDK_API int GetChannelCount(int liSegment);
MATLABSDK_API int GetChannelInf(int liSegment, int liChannel, char* pSensorName);
MATLABSDK_API int GetData(int liSegment, short* plcData);
MATLABSDK_API int GetData2(double dStartTime, double dDuration, short* plcData);
MATLABSDK_API int RecSecToDate(double dRecSec, double* pdDate);
MATLABSDK_API int GetEventCount(long* plcEvents);
MATLABSDK_API int GetEvents(long liEvent, long* plEventTypeID, char* pstrEventTypeDescr, char* pstrEventTypeAbbrevation, char* pstrUserText, double* pdDuration, double* pdTimeStamp);
MATLABSDK_API int Close(void);

As seen, the problem concerns even loading the shared library. I have no experience with C/C++, and I have never seen a header file before. Any help is appreciated.
