compilation failed: too many initializers

Hi, I have generated a mexFunction using Matlab Coder; however the standalone mexFunction can't run on another version of Matlab due to some dependency issues (missing DLLs). Together with the mexFunction, there were also many other .c and .h files generated with Coder. I am now trying to recompile the generated .c files into mexFunction with the Matlab in which the final result must run perfectly. Unfortunately, I get the following error:
error C2078: too many initializers
What should I do to amend this?
Thanks in advance!

Could you show us an example of a line that it is complaining about too many initializers?
Try using the Makefile that is generated by MATLAB Coder instead.
mex ('randn1_mex.c', 'randn1_date.c', '...', blaslib, lapacklib)
... is the other .c files generated by Coder.
There is also a makefile .mk generated by Coder. How can I make use of this .mk file to recompile the mexFunction using the .c and .h files that Coder has generated?
Thank you for your help. :)
Actually I meant an example of the line of C code that is being complained about.
the exact error message is as following:
randn1_mex.c(23) : error C2078: too many initializers
and in randn1_mex.c, line 23 is:
emlrtContext emlrtContextGlobal = { true, false, EMLRT_VERSION_INFO, NULL, "randn1", NULL, false, NULL, false, 1, false };
Jane: You need to have a make utility installed. For example, if you have Visual Studio, you should be able to call nmake.exe from a VS command window. Just say "nmake -f foo.mk".
Also, I would recommend looking into the Makefile to see what compiler commands are being used. You will need the corresponding compiler to be installed. For example "cl.exe" is the Visual Studio compiler.
