Cant detect C compiler

I have some s function files in C that needs to be converted to MEX. I installed a c compiler 'MinGW-w64' but my matlab isnt yet detecting it.

this is what it gives when i type mex 'No supported compiler or SDK was found. For options, visit http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2015a/win64.html .' get my compiler gives me a blank array.

0x1 CompilerConfiguration array with properties:

    Name
    Manufacturer
    Language
    Version
    Location
    ShortName
    Priority
    Details
    LinkerName
    LinkerVersion
    MexOpt

I am confused now. What could be a reason for this.

What about considering the error message and opening http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2015a/win64.html . You will find a table which states, that MinGW is not supported by Matlab R2015a. But you can install the Windows SDK 7.1.
