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++

•Preparing to Compile

•Verifying mbuild

•Verifying the MATLAB Compiler

•About the mbuild Script

•Using an IDE

•Distributing Stand-Alone Windows Applications

Configuring for C or C++

mbuild determines wh e ther to compile in C o r C + + b y ex amining the type o f

files yo u are compiling. This table sh ow s the file ext ensions 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 f rom the file extensions whether to compile in C or

C++,

mbuild invokes the C compiler.
