Known Issue
When exporting the EASY5 model for MATLAB, I get an error and the compilation fails.
This is what appears in the
xi_demo.xmi_build.log file:.

Description
Problem:
The cause is that EASY5 cannot find the C compiler. This could be because there is no C compiler installed on the machine, or the path to the C compiler is not in the Windows Path. The S-Function interface to MATLAB that EASY5 uses is compiled using a C compiler. Therefore, an installed C compiler is a requirement in order to use this method.
Workaround:
There is no workaround for this issue.
Solution:
Install a compatible C compiler and make sure that the path to it is in your Windows
