MATLAB: How to solve Error: Unrecognized switch: -. during ssc_build

Question

Dear all,

I'm trying to build my previously made simscape files using ssc_build. However, I get the following error:

Error: Unrecognized switch: -.

I'm using a 64-bit Matlab 2013a installation with Microsoft Software Development Kit (SDK) 7.1 compiler that I set up succesfully using mex -setup.

The ssc files were created using a 32-bit installation, can this be the cause or is there another reason? Do I need administrator rights in a particular folder to make this work?

Thanks in advance, Sebastiaan

Answer 1

Dear all,

I found the solution to my problem. It was simply an error in the name of a folder in the path. It contained " - " which apparently is not allowed. Compiling in another folder (Documents\MATLAB) worked fine. I was even able to copy the compiled files back into the original folder and use them in my simulations.
