Installing an ANSI C or C++ Compiler

To install your ANSI C or C++ compiler, follow the vendor's instructions that accompany your C or C++ compiler. Be sure to test the C or C++ compiler to make sure it is installed and configured properly. Typically, the compiler vendor provides some test procedures.

When you install your C or C++ compiler, you might encounter configuration questions that require you to provide particular details. These tables provide information on some of the more common issues.

Installation options
We recommend that you do a full installation of your compiler. If you do a partial installation, you may omit a component that the MATLAB Compiler relies on.
Installing debugger files
For the purposes of the MATLAB Compiler, it is not necessary to install debugger (DBG) files. However, you may need them for other purposes.
Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC)
This is not required.
16-bit DLL/executables
This is not required.
ActiveX
This is not required.
Running from the command line
Make sure you select all relevant options for running your compiler from the command line.
Updating the registry
If your installer gives you the option of updating the registry, you should do it.
Installing Microsoft Visual C/C++ Version 6.0
If you need to change the location where this compiler is installed, you must change the location of the Common directory. Do not change the location of the VC98 directory from its default setting.
