Supported Compilers – Release 2011b
A number of MathWorks products or product features require that you have a third-party compiler installed on your system. The tables below outline the compilers that are supported by various MathWorks products. These compilers are provided by a number of vendors and are available under a variety of commercial, academic, or open source terms; visit the providers' Web sites for further information.
Windows (32-bit)
On 32-bit Windows, the lcc C compiler is installed along with MATLAB, providing out-of-the-box support for most MathWorks products. Further options are available as outlined in this table.

Notes for the Windows (32-bit) Platform
Support for this version of this compiler will be discontinued in a future release, at which time a new version will be supported. Consult the platform road map for more information.
Support for C++ exception handling is limited. You can find more information in Solution 1-4OKNSV.
Intel compilers depend on tools provided by Microsoft. The following combinations are supported:

To build .NET components, a Microsoft .NET Framework must be installed. The .NET Framework v3.0 does not contain a framework-specific compiler; compatible components can be built using the v2.0 compiler. The .NET Framework is automatically installed by Visual Studio. It can also be downloaded from the Microsoft Web site. To execute applications that use the resulting .NET components, the target machine must have the matching .NET Framework installed.
MATLAB Builder NE supports building .NET assemblies but not COM objects when using the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK without Microsoft Visual Studio.
Fortran compilers are supported with Simulink only for creating Simulink S-Functions using the MATLAB MEX command. The S-Functions can be used with normal and accelerated simulations.
xPC Target supports Fortran code in Simulink models using C-MEX wrapper S-Functions.
