I have some software which utilizes a couple mex functions, compiled from .c files. They were compiled on a windows computer and so only work on Windows. I'm updating the software to work on other platforms, so I need to re-compile the c files on my mac to make mex functions that are compatible with mac. To do this, I need a compiler that's compatible with mac. As far as I can tell, the only compiler I can get for free is Xcode.
However, when I try to install Xcode, I can't. It is not compatible with anything before MacOS 14. Yet when I try to download MacOS 14 Sonoma, I can't because it's not compatible with my computer, only with Macbook Pro 2018 and later.
So my question is, how can I compile .c files into mex functions on my macbook pro 2017? Is there any free compiler out there that will do the job?

I understand that you want to compile C files into MEX files on a MacBook. MATLAB requires you to install a supported C or Fortran compiler along with Xcode (on macOS with Intel chips) or Microsoft Visual Studio (on Windows).
Here is the list of System Requirements and Supported Compilers for all operating systems (Windows, Linux, and Mac): https://www.mathworks.com/support/requirements/previous-releases.html
Refer to the following documentation to understand the setup of MEX: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/mex.html
I hope the above information helps in resolving the query that you have reported. Thank you!
