Can I build a MEX file within VisualStudio?

I would like to be able to develop a MEX file in VisualStudio.

From mex commands lines I'm missing the ability to have a vs project file, do the linkage have code completion for large framework like Qt, etc.

Looking at the a mex export dump there's only 2 functions:

1. 0 0000100A mexFunction = @ILT+5(mexFunction)
2. 1 00001005 mexfilerequiredapiversion = @ILT+0(mexfilerequiredapiversion)

I'm missing the mexfilerequiredapiversion function prototype.

Has anyone tried?

I assume that you would like to build a MEX file in Visual Studio IDE.

Refer this link for information on how to compile a MEX file in Visual Studio:

This link is dead. Is there a currently-working link?

I second that.... link is dead.

If there is good help for this process, it would be great to see.

I'm using Visual Studio 2017, and when I create a new project in Visual Studio, I found a MEX function template. I'll try to summarize what I find out, but if someone knows something, that would be helpful.
