Using the C Math Library

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 additional details about 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 2-2: mbuild Options on UNIX 

Option	Description
-c	Compile only; do not link.
-D<name>[=<def>]	Define C preprocessor macro <name> [as having value <def>].
-f <optionsfile>	Use <file> to override the default 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.
-inline	Inlines matrix accessor functions (mx*). The generated MEX function may not be compatible with future versions of MATLAB.
-l<file>	Link against library lib<file>.
-L<pathname>	Include <pathname> in the list of directories to search for libraries.
-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.
<name>=<def>	Override options file setting for variable <name>. If <def> contains spaces, enclose it in single quotes, for example, CFLAGS='opt1 opt2'. The definition, <def>, can reference other variables defined in the options file. To reference a variable in the options file, prepend the variable name with a $, for example, CFLAGS='$CFLAGS opt2'.
-n	No execute flag. Using this option displays the commands that compile and link the target but does not execute them.
-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.)
-O	Build an optimized executable.
-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.
