Building Stand-Alone Applications on PCs

This section explains how to compile and link the C/C++ code generated from

the MATLAB Compiler into a stand-alone Windows application. This section

includes

• “Configuring for C or C++” on page 4-15

• “Preparing to Compile” on page 4-16

• “Verifying mbuild” on page 4-22

• “Verifying the MATLAB Compiler” on page 4-23

• “About the mbuild Script” on page 4-23

• “Using an Integrated Development Environment” on page 4-23

• “Distributing Stand-Alone Applications” on page 4-27

Configuring for C or C++

mbuild determines whether to compile in C or C++ by examining the type of

files you are compiling. Table 4-2, Windows File Extensions for mbuild, shows

the file extensions that

mbuild interprets as indicating C or C++ files.

• If you include both C and C++ files,

mbuild uses the C++ compiler and the

MATLAB C++ Math Library.

• If

mbuild cannot deduce from the file extensions whether to compile in C or

C++,

mbuild invokes the C compiler.
