MATLAB Compiler

Introduction

MATLAB Compiler Version 4 takes M-files as input and generates redistributable, stand-alone applications or software components. These resulting applications and components are platform specific. The MATLAB Compiler can generate these kinds of applications or components:

• Stand-alone applications. Stand-alone applications do not require MATLAB at run-time; they can run even if MATLAB is not installed on the end-user's system.
• C and C++ shared libraries (dynamically linked libraries, or DLLs, on Microsoft Windows). These can be used without MATLAB on the end-user's system.
• Excel add-ins; requires MATLAB Builder for Excel
• COM objects; requires MATLAB Builder for COM

The MATLAB Compiler supports all the functionality of MATLAB, including objects. In addition, no special considerations are necessary for private and method functions; they are handled by the Compiler.

Note    Some toolboxes will not compile with MATLAB Compiler 4. Particular functionality of some toolboxes will also not compile. For more information regarding the compilability of toolboxes, see the MATLAB Compiler product page on the Web.
