Hi :wave:

I have cloned acados for my project in my university windows cluster. I have installed Mingw C compiler installed from Matlab add ons and tried building using Cmake and facing the below error.

This is my mex -setup output:
MEX configured to use ‘MinGW64 Compiler (C)’ for C language compilation.

Please let me know if anyone has solution for this issue.

-interface of acados (C/ Matlab/ Python/ Octave)? Matlab

I notice that your mingw installation is on a network share?

That might be an issue. Can you manually complile a sinmple helloWorld.c program with the installed MinGW64 gcc compiler?
