Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 set up as default C and C++ compiler in Matlab 2021a

That´s my need. It´s installed but Matlab doesn´t know that it is.

if I put: mex -setup, Microsoft visual studio doesn´t appear.

Thank you very much for helping!

What must I do in order to set Visual Studio as the Matlab C and C++ Compiler?

My default Compiler now is mingw64-g++ but I want to generate an audio plugin and it can´t be compiled, this is the message:

"Error using generateAudioPlugin

Toolchain 'MinGW64 Compiler (C++)' is not supported for generating audio plug-ins. Use one

of the following:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2017

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015."

Visual C++ is already installed in my desktop but how can I integrate it to MATLAB in order to be the compiler in use with it?

In simple words, you can not!

Plugin generation is part of the Audio Toolbox, which does not support MinGW. For plugins:

• VS 2019 was added to R2019b (appears to be missing from the error message).
• VS 2022 is planned for R2022a update 1. This and other releases subject to change.

For the latest, check the supported compilers page, including the link in the top right corner for previous releases.

I installed VS 2019. MATLAB R2021a recognized it, I set up MEX to use it as C++ compiler and it worked fine. Matlab generated the audio plugin. Thanks a lot Jimmy!

Great to hear, my pleasure!

This was added in R2021B Update 3. Not sure if R2021A will ever get this update. VS 2022 was release only very recently.

i can't add the microsoft visual c++ compiler as well to my 2021b version of matlab, can you help me please

[Jimmy Lapierre]

Which version of Visual C++ are you using?

[Walter Roberson]

I think I saw Youssef mention VS 2019 C++ in a different post.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 set up as default C and C++ compiler in Matlab 2023b

2023b does support MSVS2022, but...

If you are installing on Win10 when the "Desktop development with C++" workload is selected the default SDK is for Win11, you can uncheck that and save 2GB of space and check a Win10 SDK further down the list.
