MATLAB Compiler

Chapter 4
Stand-Alone
Applications

This chapter explains how to use the MATLAB Compiler to code and build stand-alone applications. The first part of the chapter concentrates on using the mbuild script to build stand-alone applications and the second part concentrates on the coding of the applications. Stand-alone applications run without the help of the MATLAB interpreter. In fact, stand-alone applications run even if MATLAB is not installed on the system. However, stand-alone applications do require the run-time shared libraries. The specific shared libraries required for each platform are listed within the following sections.

Note    You must have the optional MATLAB C/C++ Math Library installed on your system if you want to create stand-alone applications. If your application uses Handle Graphics, you must have the optional MATLAB C/C++ Graphics Library installed on your system.
