Using the C Math Library

Building Stand-Alone C Applications 

After you write your C code, you must compile and link it to create your C application. The section:

• Provides an overview of the compiling and linking process, introducing the MATLAB mbuild utility.
• Explains how to build stand-alone C applications on UNIX systems
• Explains how to build stand-alone C applications on PCs running Microsoft Windows.
• Describes how to build shared libraries
• Details the libraries with which you must link your C application if you do not use the mbuild utility.

Note    You may freely distribute applications you develop with the MATLAB C Math Library.

Packaging Stand-Alone Applications

To distribute a stand-alone application, you must include the application's executable as well as the shared libraries with which the application was linked. The necessary shared libraries vary by platform and are listed within the individual UNIX and Windows sections that follow.
