When run acados example 'minimal_example_ocp.m':

ERROR:

Generating buildsystem failed.

Got status 1, result: CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program

corresponding to "MinGW Makefiles". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably

need to select a different build tool.

Hi,

You're encountering an error with "CMake" due to a missing build program, such as MinGW. To resolve this issue, follow these steps to install the MinGW-w64 compiler:

• Open MATLAB, and go to the Home tab.
• In the Environment section, click on Add-Ons > Get Add-Ons.
• Search for MinGW or navigate to it from the Features section.
• Install MinGW-w64.

After the installation is complete, set up MinGW as your compiler by running the following command in the MATLAB Command Window:

mex -setup 

This should configure MinGW as your default compiler, allowing you to compile and run your MATLAB files without any issues.
