Use of a C Code User Code Component requires a compatible C compiler (matching the Fortran compiler used). For Windows, this translates into the following table:

Included

Note: Use of the Matlab Interface requires one of the following C compilers, depending on which Fortran compiler is being used, and which version of the Matlab Interface is used (green indicates "supported", yellow indicates "unsupported, but should work"). If no C compiler is available, you can only use the
Matlab Interface with Compaq Visual Fortran 6.x, and you must manually install the Matlab Interface
version 4.0.5.
