Do I need the MinGW-w64 Compiler to load library (.c/.h/.dll) in simulink?

I found the example to import a dll in Simulink here: How can I use a DLL file in Simulink? - MATLAB Answers - MATLAB Central (mathworks.com)

But trying the example Simulink gives me an error: Simulink need a support of a compiler.

If I have Visual Studio with its compiler, how can I set that compiler for Matlab or Simulink?

Thank you in advance

Hi Lorenza,

You can try the following command to configure the C/C++ compiler to be used by the MATLAB

mex -setup c % for C Compiler

MEX configured to use 'gcc' for C language compilation.

mex -setup c++ % for c++ Compiler

MEX configured to use 'g++' for C++ language compilation.

The above command provides the current compiler being used by MATLAB and links to other available compilers corresponding to the target language.To change the default, select one of those links.

To learn more about configuring the compiler, please refer to the following documentation:
