MATLAB: Install libsvm error Windows8

Question

I'm trying to install libsvm-3.17 on matlab Matlab version: Matlab 7.5.0 (R2007b) & operating system windows8

I've downloaded it from http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/oldfiles/index-1.0.html

I've installed Microsoft visual C++ 2010 express to use c++ compiler.

after opening make.m file at command window I wrote mex -setup Microsoft visual C++ compiler didn't appear as a choice I don't know why? [

Would you like mex to locate installed compilers [y]/n? y

Select a compiler:

[1] Lcc-win32 C 2.4.1 in C:\Program Files (x86)\MATLAB\R2007b\sys\lcc

[0] None ] this is the first problem .

I choose First compiler (Lcc-win32 C 2.4.1) and typed make at command window , I got list of errors ended with:

C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\MATLAB\R2007B\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: Compile of '../svm.cpp' failed.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance;

Answer 1

R2007b was released a few years before Visual C++ 2010, so that version of MATLAB has no knowledge of it. Support compilers at that time can be found in archive system requirements.

LCC will not compile C++ files.
