I am trying to test this Matlab model which uses a random signal generator and both a Matlab based S-function block (a dot m file) and a C code based S-function block ( dot c file).When I run this model, I get the following error:
I tried to find solutions for a while and realised that the MEX file in that folder is probably what the s-function block uses to utilise the C-code. I also found out that the MEX file in that folder may not be compatible with my version of Matlab. As a result, I tried to use the "mex" command:
mex secondOrder_c.c)
That gave me the following error:
Error using mexNo 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, visithttp://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2017a/.
I'd appreciate some help with this process. Is this happening to me because my computer has no C/C++ compilers installed? I have Visual Studio 2017 installed on the same computer. Doesn't that count for anything? Does the fact that Matlab didn't detect that software imply that it's useless?
I'd really like some help with this so that I can resume learning from the book where I came across this s-function thing.
