Welcome to mex -setup. This utility will help you set up

a default compiler. For a list of supported compilers, see

Please choose your compiler for building MEX-files:

Would you like mex to locate installed compilers [y]/n? y

Select a compiler:

mbuild is part of the MATLAB Compiler Toolbox. You either do not have that installed, or else you do not have it licensed.

hello, do you know which toolbox?what i installed are educational version,so is this toolbox free?

thank u

[Walter Roberson]

The toolbox name is MATLAB Compiler. https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2012b/compiler/index.html

To test to see whether you have a license for MATLAB Compiler, execute

license('test','compiler')

If it returns 1 then you do have a license and would only need to install it (but you might need to arrange with your IT staff to get a copy of the installer.)

If it returns 0, then you do not have a license for the toolbox.

It is probably not possible to purchase such an old license at this time. However, if you have a license for MATLAB Compiler for any newer version, then you can use that license to install for R2012b.

unfortunately， it returns 0.

thanks a lot.

Unfortunately that indicates you do not have a license for the toolbox.

That toolbox is one of the more expensive ones, and it is not available for Student or Home licenses, only for Academic and Commercial / Professional licenses.
