MATLAB Compiler

Verifying mbuild

There is C source code for an example, ex1.c, included in the <matlab>\extern\examples\cmath directory, where <matlab> represents the top-level directory where MATLAB is installed on your system. To verify that mbuild is properly configured on your system to create stand-alone applications, enter at the MATLAB prompt

• mbuild ex1.c
  

This creates the file called ex1.exe. Stand-alone applications created on Windows 98/2000/Me or Windows NT always have the extension exe. The created application is a 32-bit MS-DOS console application.

Shared Libraries

All the libraries (WIN32 Dynamic Link Libraries, or DLLs) for MATLAB, the MATLAB Compiler, and the MATLAB Math Library are in the directory

• <matlab>\bin\win32
  

The .DEF files for the Microsoft and Borland compilers are in the <matlab>\extern\include directory. All of the relevant libraries for building stand-alone applications are WIN32 Dynamic Link Libraries. Before running a stand-alone application, you must ensure that the directory containing the DLLs is on your path. The directory must be on your operating system $PATH environment variable. On Windows NT, use the Control Panel to set the value.

Running Your Application

You can now run your stand-alone application by launching it from the DOS command line. For example:

• ex1
  ans =
   
       1     3     5
       2     4     6
   
   
  ans =
   
     1.0000 + 7.0000i   4.0000 +10.0000i
     2.0000 + 8.0000i   5.0000 +11.0000i
     3.0000 + 9.0000i   6.0000 +12.0000i
