Cannot generate MEX function

I tried to use MATLAB Coder to generate a MEX function from a MATLAB function.

I used the simplest example to make sure the MATLAB function is correct:

function c = add(a,b)
%#codegen
c = a + b;

But when building, there was an error:

??? Build error: Compilation returned error status code 2. See the target build log for further details.

And last few lines of the error report looks like this:

   12      Creating library add_mex.x and object add_mex.exp
   13   'cmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
   14   operable program or batch file.
   15   gmake: *** [add_mex.mexw64] Error 1

My MATLAB version is R2011a, and I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 installed on my computer as well, so I ran

    mex -setup

to designate the compiler to VS2010.

Can somebody please tell me how to troubleshoot this?

I think the same issue has been discussed here: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/2926
