mbuild Options

The mbuild script supports various options that allow you to customize the building and linking of your code. Many users do not need to know any additional details of the mbuild script; they use it in its simplest form. The following information is provided for those users who require more flexibility with the tool.

The mbuild syntax and options are

mbuild [-options] filename1 [filename2 ...]

Table 2-5: mbuild Options on Microsoft Windows 

Option	Description
@filename	Replace @filename on the mbuild command line with the contents of filename. filename is a response file, i.e., a text file that contains additional command line options to be processed.
-c	Compile only; do not link.
-D<name> [#<def>]	Define C preprocessor macro <name> as having value [#<def>]
-f <file>	Use <file> as the options file; <file> is a full pathname if it is not in the current directory.
-g	Build an executable with debugging symbols included.
-h[elp]	Help; prints a description of mbuild and the list of options.
-I<pathname>	Include <pathname> in the list of directories to search for header files.
<name>#<def>	Override options file setting for variable <name>. This option is equivalent to <ENV_VAR>#<val>, which temporarily sets the environment variable <ENV_VAR> to <val> for the duration of the call to mex. <val> can refer to another environment variable by prepending the name of the variable with a $, e.g., COMPFLAGS#"$COMPFLAGS -myswitch".
-inline	Inlines matrix accessor functions (mx*). The generated MEX-function may not be compatible with future versions of MATLAB.
-lang <language>	Override language choice implied by file extension. <language> =c for C     cpp for C++ This option is necessary when you use an unsupported file extension, or when you pass all .o files and libraries.
-n	Print out any commands that mbuild would have executed, but do not actually execute any of them.
-O	Build an optimized executable.
-outdir <dirname>	Place any generated object, resource, or executable files in the directory <dirname>. Do not combine this option with -output if the -output option gives a full pathname.
-output <name>	Create an executable named <name>. (An appropriate executable extension is automatically appended.)
-setup	Set up the default compiler and libraries. This option should be the only argument passed.
-U<name>	Undefine C preprocessor macro <name>.
-v	Verbose; print all compiler and linker settings.
