Error using mex: No supported compiler or SDK was found.

9 views (last 30 days)
I have MATLAB 2014a and VS 2012 ultimate, I don't know why this is happening. I am trying to compile a cuda file. Please help.
I ran mex -setup -v and this was the output:
>> mex -setup -v

Hi,
compiling a .cu file in MATLAB is not possible out of the box (mex -setup does not configure the compiler for compilation of CUDA code). You would need some further steps. See here or run in MATLAB
>>web(fullfile(docroot, 'distcomp/run-mex-functions-containing-cuda-code.html#btrgjh3-1'))
In addition you would need to adjust that XML file to match VS 2012 because it's configured for VS 2010.

Do what Ken said above. It seems like your have a mexopts.bat file which has a higher priority than any other xml file. Remove it ( C:\Users\Jordan Bonilla\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2014a\mexopts.bat ) and try again.

I made some tweaks and now I am getting the error that the source file is unrecognized... I am just going to call mathworks

Hi Jordan,
to me this looks fine: you configured mex to use Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 (as in the text directly before the warning about large arrays). You shouldn't have any problems, at least none that I can see ;-).

Thanks for the reply. I should also mention that this error happened when I attempted to compile a cuda file using the command:
mex myfile.cu

Try removing/renaming the mexopts.bat file cited above, then rerun MEX with -v... Any change?

no change. I'm just gonna open a support request with mathworks.
