MATLAB: NMAKE : fatal error U1052: file ‘slrttestmdl.mk’ not found

confidence test 4slrttestmdl.mk

I am running slrt on a target computer. When running slrttest, it fails at test 4. I checked the Matlab website for confidence test 4 errors. Our compiler is supported (Visual Studio Community 2017 C++) and our compiler path is in the standard path, but we are still getting the error below. I have not been able to find anybody else with this problem and I don't know where slrttestmdl.mk would be. I am working with 2017b. This is my first time posting so if I'm missing anything, let me know.

Hi Alex,
One thing that you may try is to set the environment variable VSCMD_START_DIR in MATLAB. To do so, you can execute the following command in MATLAB Command Window:
>> setenv('VSCMD_START_DIR','%CD%')
Also you can put this in the start up file for MATLAB program, so that you don't have to execute this command every session.
