MATLAB Compiler

Stand-Alone C++ Applications

To build stand-alone C++ applications, MATLAB, the MATLAB Compiler, a C++ compiler, and the MATLAB C/C++ Math Library must be installed on your system.

The source code for a stand-alone C++ application consists either entirely of M-files or some combination of M-files, MEX-files, and C or C++ source code files.

The MATLAB Compiler, when invoked with the appropriate option flag (-p or -L Cpp), translates input M-files into C++ source code suitable for your own stand-alone applications. After compiling this C++ source code, the resulting object files are linked against the MATLAB C/C++ Math Library. For more information about distributing a C++ application, see Distributing Stand-Alone Applications.

Note    On the PC, the MATLAB C++ Math Library is static because the different PC compiler vendors use different C++ name-mangling algorithms.
