How to download a C++ complier to download a function from the file exchange

1 view (last 30 days)
Hello,
I tied to download the RunLength function from the file exchange (https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/41813-runlength). I need this function to run a code from a former colleague. However, I have got some problems downloading it correctly.
After Downloading WinRAR opens automatically. I then unzipped the files into the Matlab folder (C:/Program Files/MATLAB/R2015b). When I then try to run the example code, I get an error message stating:
"Compile: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\Runlength\RunLength.c
mex -O -largeArrayDims -D_LITTLE_ENDIAN -DHAS_HG2 -DMATLABVER=806 RunLength.c
*** Compilation failed:
No supported compiler or SDK was found. You can install the freely available MinGW-w64 C/C++ compiler; see Install MinGW-w64 Compiler. For more options, see http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2015b/win64.html."
followed by a long section where Matlab is looking for different versions or parts of a 'Intel C++ Composer XE 2011 with Microsoft SDK 7.1 (C)' complier.
and at last the message
"The compilation failed! Possible solutions:
* Is a compiler installed and set up properly by: mex -setup?
* Try to compile manually:
cd('C:\Program Files\MATLAB\Runlength')
mex -O -largeArrayDims -D_LITTLE_ENDIAN -DHAS_HG2 -DMATLABVER=806 RunLength.c -v
* Or download the pre-compiled file RunLength.mexw64:
http://www.n-simon.de/mex
* Please send this report to the author.
== InstallMex: failed."
Then i tried running the command "InstallMex('RunLength.c')" but got the same error message again.
Then i downloaded the RunLength.mexw64 file from http://www.n-simon.de/mex/. I could not open it by dopple klick, so I moved the file to the Matlab folder and tried running the function again. Got the same result.
Then I looked up the error message and decided to try to download a C++ Complier.
Trying to download the MinGW-w64 C/C++ Compile on https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/52848-matlab-support-for-mingw-w64-c-c-compiler?s_tid=AO_R2015b_retire failed to download. I got a " Download Failed: Received fatal alert: protocol_version" error message. Furthermore, when I try to open the Add-on Explorer, I get the message that "Add-On Explorer is no longer available for this release".
I am out of my options now. Did someone come across this problem before and can help me?
Best Wishes,
Katy
