MATLAB: Problem in 2012b with SDK 7.1

Question

I am having problems building in 2012b 64bit. I have read at least 10 posts with the same problem, but no real answer. The only possible answer I have found is to set my target to xpctarget.tlc instead of ert.tlc, but that is not in my option list. How do I add it and if I do, will it affect my build in any way? On my last PC, I could build just fine, but I was running 2011b 32bit running the included compiler (not SDK7.1). This code is in production and I need to modify it, but can't alter its function in any way, so I want to make sure changing the target tlc file will not alter it.

Here are the error codes I got leading up to the error.

Answer 1

Ok, I am still verifying the result, but the build process works fine now. I had an older version of tmwtypes.h in my build folder. The only thing I did to fix the build was to replace it with the current version of tmwtypes.h in the root Matlab folder.

Like I said though, I am still verifying it on hardware to make sure the functionality is the same. I will report back in a couple of days.
