I need to setup my mex command to find the correct fortran compiler

I'm trying to duplicate the matlab example of compiling fortran code using mex command: >> mex -R2018a timestwoCL.F.

I get the following error:

Error using mex

No supported compiler was found. For options, visit https://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers.

I'm a 2019 visual studio user and my compiler is supported per the above link (Intel 2020 parallel studio) and is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_2020\windows\bin\intel64\ifort.exe.

How do I set my mex command to use this compiler?

configuration info:

MATLAB Version: 9.6.0.1072779 (R2019a)

MATLAB License Number: 41042005

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise Version 10.0 (Build 19042)

Java Version: Java 1.8.0_181-b13 with Oracle Corporation Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM mixed mode

Whether you can manage to mung on the setup to fool Mother MATLAB or not, I've no idea any more. I've totally given up -- it's unconscionable the mess TMW has made of pretending to support Fortran for mex -- fortunately for me, I've retired from consulting so no longer have a direct need, but it would be unacceptable if still were, so I feel the pain.

The problem is that R2018x as configured by TMW install will only support VS releases from earlier than the MATLAB release -- and you're trying to use VS 2019. VS2017 is last that is documented to be supported in the Notes that accompany the above link...unfortunately, the fine print is as binding as the major point.

Thank you for your response

I'd forgotten just what TMW had done to the setup script stuff -- I recalled <omment_585625> almost two years ago now that were looking into trying to figure out the setup to be able to use gfortran -- and the setup files are now XML.

That TMW makes all of this as opaque and obtuse as possible is just infuriating -- they should just provide the needed compiler and link options required to build a mex object file and let the user choose the compiler of choice and build it with the toolset of choice.
