Hello, I need to run the command "rosgenmsg". I am using Windows 10, Visual Studio 2017, Python 2.7.18 and Cmake 3.15.5 as Matlab recommends for each version.

but I have the following error:

Hi Mario,

I understand that you are encountering an error while running the “rosgenmsg” function.

To effectively diagnose and address the error, it would be beneficial to examine the build log, which is crucial for identifying the specific cause of the build process failure.

However, you can refer the following MATLAB answer that addresses a similar problem and provides a workaround for it:
