MATLAB: Simulink model build for NI Veristand fails

code generation build ni veristandsimulinksimulink coder

Hi Folks,
Everything worked fine since today morning, when I came back to office after weekend and cannot compile any model. At the end I made the simplest model ever and it did not work also. I have problem with building simulink models for NI Veristand. The model is supposed to run under PharLap on PXI, I am using NI Veristand 2012, Matlab 2012b and MS Visual Studio 2008 compiler.
When I stared building my model, it generates C code files, but at the point where makefile is to be created, the following error appears:
NI VeriStand error ==> An error occured setting the make-file command options.
Attempt to reference field of non-structure array.
There is console log of build operation:

The current model is really simple, so the second line of error is impossible:
So After that I tried several things:
  • At the first I tried to compile this code for cRIO, there is another tlc template and it uses WxWorks compiler -> it worked.
  • Then I had idea, that it might be something wrong with visual studio compiler, so I tried to mex some file -> it worked.
Now I am out of ideas … Do you anybody have any idea how to make it run, or find out where is the problem ? In the attachment there is model with product of build operation.
Greetings, Vladimir.

Problem solved.
I re-installed all the stuff (Matlab,NI Veristand, Veristand Model Support, Visula Studio 2008) but nothing helped.
At the end I have found out that something had cleared out of my windows paths variable PATH (PATH "c:windows\system32"). After adding it back, it starts work again.
