Error using mex
No supported compiler or SDK was found. You can install the freely available MinGW-w64 C/C++ compiler; see
Install MinGW-w64 Compiler. For more options, see 
http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2015b/win64.html.

Any suggestion what should i do to overcome this problem? Anyone?

Dear all,

I successfully solve this matter by un-install all my previous installation and re-install this package downloaded from http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/52848-matlab-support-for-the-mingw-w64-c-c++-compiler-from-tdm-gcc. Then i'm able to use the MEX function.

Thanks to all who helped.

[ahmed ali]

can you tell me the next step after you download tdm-gcc in detailes please to use mex files in matlab ?? wait for your reply

@luqman subki..

seriously...you saved one month of headache..thanks man!

For information about installing MinGW-w64, see "Install MinGW-w64 Compiler". http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/install-mingw-support-package.html

For information about the environment variable, MW_MINGW64_LOC, see "Manually Configure MinGW for MATLAB". http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/compiling-c-mex-files-with-mingw.html#bu0q4cc-1

Notice

... Looking for environment variable 'MW_MINGW64_LOC' ...No.
Did not find installed compiler 'MinGW64 Compiler (C)'.

You can use setenv() within MATLAB or you can set an Windows environment variable; see http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm

Hi @Walter Roberson, I think the PATH are already there and i tried re-install the GCC again as follow:

At the end of the installation i got this error:

I'm quite frustrated and don't have any idea to solve this. Any suggestions from you?

[Walter Roberson]

What do you get in MATLAB if you ask

getenv('MW_MINGW64_LOC')

?

Also, are you invoking mex -setup from within MATLAB or outside MATLAB?

I faced with the same problem, then I installed visual basic ultimate and the problem solved for 2012 but there is still same problem for 2015a.
