Options Files

This information is provided for users who need to know more about how options files work.

Locating the Options File

Windows

To locate your options file on Windows, the mbuild script searches the following locations:

mbuild uses the first occurrence of the options file it finds. If no options file is found, mbuild searches your machine for a supported C compiler and uses the factory default options file for that compiler. If multiple compilers are found, you are prompted to select one.

The User Profile Directory Under Windows.   The Windows user profile directory is a directory that contains user-specific information such as desktop appearance, recently used files, and Start menu items. The mbuild utility stores its options files, compopts.bat, which is created during the -setup process, in a subdirectory of your user profile directory, named Application Data\MathWorks\MATLAB\R14. Under Windows with user profiles enabled, your user profile directory is %windir%\Profiles\username. Under Windows with user profiles disabled, your user profile directory is %windir%. You can determine whether or not user profiles are enabled by using the Passwords control panel.

UNIX

To locate your options file on UNIX, the mbuild script searches the following locations:

mbuild uses the first occurrence of the options file it finds. If no options file is found, mbuild displays an error message.
