Issue summary

Could not find Matlab when compiling, missing: Matlab_MEX_EXTENSION

Steps to reproduce

Makefile.config:

 # This is required only if you will compile the matlab interface.
# MATLAB directory should contain the mex binary in /bin.
 MATLAB_DIR := C:/Program Files/MATLAB/R2017b/bin/
MATLAB_DIR := C:/Program Files/MATLAB/R2017b/bin/

I've never built Caffe for MATLAB myself but from that message:
# MATLAB directory should contain the mex binary in /bin.
I would assume that your MATLAB directory should contain bin. So when you set it to:
MATLAB_DIR := C:/Program Files/MATLAB/R2017b/bin/
the build system is actually looking for C:/Program Files/MATLAB/R2017b/bin/bin.

Still, please do not post usage, installation, or modeling questions, or other requests for help to Issues. Use the caffe-users list instead. This helps developers maintain a clear, uncluttered, and efficient view of the state of Caffe. Please read the guidelines for contributing before submitting an issue or a pull request.
