How to make mex file of C program in matlab

I have to run a matlab code namely "huff2mat.m" but it uses a C file namely "unravel.c". It also asks me to make a mex file of it. How can i use the file "unravel.c" in matlab.

if it is mex file, its mean C code for matlab. then simply compile it by this command in matlab editor.

mex unravel.c;

then you can call unravel as function in matlab.

And if you didn't do it before: "mex -setup". This setup requires and installed compiler, but this is perhaps another question.

https://www.mathworks.com/content/dam/mathworks/mathworks-dot-com/support/sysreq/files/SystemRequirements-Release2014a_SupportedCompilers.pdf lists the r2014a compatible compilers. Scroll down to get to the 64 bit area.

The supported compilers that work with Windows 10 are all Microsoft Professional releases, except for sdk 7.1. You will have some trouble installing sdk 7.1 in Windows 10; see https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/233850-how-can-i-install-sdk-7-1-on-windows-10
