FAQ 273: S-Functions Compiler Error with Microtec PPC Compiler Vs 3.x

Question

The compilation of a C-coded S-function cannot be completed and the following error message displays:

line <line number> pos <position number>; a value of type "const mxArray *" cannot be used to initialize an entity of type "real_T *"

It might also display a similar error message with different pointer types.

Why does the Microtec PowerPC Compiler report this error message and why does it not occur with older dSPACE Releases?
