configuring mex compiler with visual studio

Hello there,

I found this thesis that concerns about the detection and segmentation of spinal parts In order to detect the vertebrae and discs, they used the slideing window obejct detection through machine learning to evaluate the HOG features. https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/publications/2015/Lootus15/lootus15.pdf

I get the code from here: https://github.com/vedaldi/practical-object-category-detection and i am trying to make it work. but i have problem at some point, since it use 2 external libraries "vlfeat" and "MatConvNet". it's ok with the vlfeat but i have problem with configuring the MatConvNet -steps are here: http://www.vlfeat.org/matconvnet/install/ when i reach the vl_compilenn command it informs me to use the C++ compiler of the visual studio, i did that already. finally i have an error i think it is regarding the mex compilation. i have matlab 2017b do i have to upgrade the files or use the 20181 to upgrade the mex API? as mentioned in the warning ? could you please help me?

the log is listed in the log.txt file
