I'm currently using a patch to compile mex files using visual studio 2010 ( http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-D5W493/?solution=1-D5W493).
I was able to compile many files but I am having trouble trying to compile an implementation of a decision tree ( http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/homes/dhoiem/software/counter.php?Down=boostDt.zip)
The errors that the mex compiler is giving to me do not make any sense. Does someone had any problem like that?

Please post the lines 91 an 92 of treevalc.c. How could we guess the problem without knowing the source code?

the code is as follow. It is a implementation of a boosted decision tree.
#include "mex.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
/**
* Return the decision tree node corresponding to the given value set
*
* var[n]: the attribute ids for node n
* cut[n]: the threshold value for node n
* left_child[n]: the node id of the left child of node n, 0 if node n is terminal
* right_child[n]: the node id of the right child of node n, 0 if node n is terminal
* ncatsplit[c]: the number of values resulting in a left branch
* catsplit[c]: the values that would result in a left branch
* attributes: the attribute (variable) values for each feature

line 91 and 92 are:
int* var = (int*)mxGetPr(prhs[0]);
where prhs is the parameter of the function
void mexFunction(int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[],
int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[])

Found the solution. The mex compiler was using a restrict C compiler, so I could not create variable in the middle of the function. Thx for the effort guys.

Exactly. I've mentioned this in my answer already.

Hadok, would you please explain what you eventually did to mex treevalc.c. Is it possible to change on VS10 compiler to resolve this problem? Thanks.

Jan and Hadok: Can you guys please elaborate how you have resolved this problem? I am trying to compile treevalc.c file on Windows MATLAB 2013b and it is giving me same errors which Hadok has described earlier. This is so crucial for my program that without it I can not move further. Your help will be much appreciated. If you want to share compiled mexw, that too is welcome !

Some ideas which do not solve your actual problem:
if (nrhs != 6) {
printf("Error: wrong number of input arguments: %d.\n", nlhs);
You check nrhs but print nlhs.
Is printf defined or do you have to call mexPrintf?
Concerning your problem:
Is this compiled as C89? Then the declarations have to appear before any non-declaration code in each function. See last point of http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/0afb82ta.aspx.
It is strange to convert the value of the input array to "int": This will crash, when the "int" has not as many bits as you expect. Better use "int32_T", if the Matlab array is a int32 - and be sure to check this explicitly:
if (!mxIsInt32(prhs[0])) { ...

Notice that the problem occurs at the very first place that uses mxArray . The problem is as-if mex.h is not complete.
Was mex.h supplied as part of the source code? If so then that mex.h would override mex.h expected to be supplied by the "mex" command.
