I have installed MatConvNet from VLFeat and I am trying to compile it. But as I am trying to run vl_compilenn it shows the following error:

vl_compilenn
Warning: CL.EXE not found in PATH. Trying to guess out of mex setup.

install visual studio community edition ( it's the free edition ) (minwg compiler will not work) go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio search for cl.exe take the one appropriate for your computer architecture and copy it to the folder containing the matconvnet installation run mex -setup c++ and set it to visual studio and you're good to go
