Upgrading from Previous Versions
MATLAB Compiler 2.0
The MATLAB Compiler 2.1 does not support the -V1.2 option that was available in Compiler 2.0.
Compatibility
The MATLAB Compiler 2.1 is fully compatible with previous releases of the Compiler. If you have M-files that were compiled with a previous version of the Compiler and compile them with the new version, you will get the same results.
Installation
The MATLAB 6 (Release 12) installer automatically installs Compiler 2.1. Once you install and configure Compiler 2.1, you can compile your M-files from either the MATLAB prompt or the DOS or UNIX command line. For more information about installation, see Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration.
MATLAB Compiler 1.0/1.1
In many cases, M-code that was written and compiled in MATLAB 4.2 will work as is in MATLAB 6 as well as the MATLAB 5 series. There are, however, certain changes that could impact your work, especially if you integrated Compiler-generated code into a larger application.
Changed Library Name
Beginning with MATLAB 5.0, the name of the shared library that contains compiled versions of most MATLAB M-file math routines, libtbx, has changed. The new library is now called libmmfile.
Changed Data Type Names
In C, beginning with MATLAB 5.0, the name of the basic MATLAB data type, Matrix, has changed. The new name for the data type is mxArray.
In C++, beginning with MATLAB 5.0, the name of the basic MATLAB data type, mwMatrix, has changed. The new name for the data type is mwArray.
