Simulink model and function file mexw32

My friend sent me his simulink poject with all files of it in mexw32 format. In project there is an embeded function block. When I try to run that project I'm taking errors like that "Unable to locate a C-compiler required by Stateflow and MATLAB Function blocks. Use 'mex -setup' to select a supported C-compiler."

Can someone help me How can I run this simulink model without error. Should I copy mexw32 files to somewhere in matlab folder?

The Embedded Function block generates a MEX file out of the MATLAB code that is in it. In order to successfully do so, it requires that a supported compiler has been properly setup for that installation of MATLAB.

As the error messages suggests, you can setup your compiler by typing

>> mex -setup

If you do not have a supported compiler installed on your machine, a list of supported compilers can be found here.
