Why do I receive an error referencing mex.pl when I try to compile with MATLAB Compiler 4.1.1 (R14SP1+)?

When I try to compile an application using the command:

mcc -md C:\TEMP\ magicsquare.m

I receive the following error message:

 D:\APPLICATIONS\MATLAB701\BIN\WIN32\\..\WIN32\MEX.PL: Error: No file names given. 

 '-e' is not recognized as an internal or external command, 

 operable program or batch file. 

 Error: An error occurred while shelling out to mbuild (error code = 1). 

 Unable to build executable. 

 ??? Error executing mcc, return status = 1.

This change has been incorporated into the documentation in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous releases, read below for any additional information:

This error occurs when a backslash (\) is added to the end of the output directory specified with the -d option. To work around this issue, avoid this backslash as in the following command:

mcc -md C:\TEMP magicsquare.m
