Changes to Applications Built with Borland 5.5 or 5.6 C Compilers
MATLAB applications built with Borland Version 5.5 or 5.6 C compilers have changed in
MATLAB Version 7.5 (R2007b). MATLAB applications that run under Windows are now
implemented as console applications, not Windows applications.
Compatibility Considerations
If you have customized the build process based on one of the bcc*engmatopts.bat
options files, you must edit this file making changes to the appropriate LINKFLAGS
statement, as described in the .bat file comments.
Environment Variable Required for mex with Microsoft Platform SDK
Compiler
When you build a MEX-file, an engine application, or a MAT application on a Windows
64-bit platform using the Microsoft Platform SDK compiler, MATLAB requires that you
define the environment variable MSSdk. The value of this environment variable is the
path to the installation directory for Microsoft Platform SDK. The Microsoft Platform
SDK installation program does not commonly define this environment variable. For
example, you might set the environment variable as follows:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK
Environment Variables Required for mex with Intel Visual Fortran 9.0
When you build a MEX-file, an engine application, or a MAT application using Intel
Visual Fortran 9.0, MATLAB requires that you define an environment variable for the
Windows platform you are using.
