MATLAB Compiler

Running the Application

These steps describe the process that end users must follow to install and run the application on their machines.

Preparing Windows Machines

1. Install the MCR by running the MCR Installer in a directory. For example, run MCRInstaller.exe in C:\MCR. For more information on running the MCR Installer utility, see Installing the MCR on a Deployment Machine.
2. Copy the executable and CTF archive to your application root directory, for example, C:\approot.
3. Add the following directory to your system path.

1. <mcr_root>\<ver>\runtime\win32

Note    On Windows XP, this directory is automatically added to your path.

Preparing UNIX Machines

1. Install the MCR by unzipping MCRInstaller.zip in a directory, for example, /home/<user>/MCR. You may choose any directory except <matlabroot> or any directory below <matlabroot>.

Note    This book uses <mcr_root> to refer to the directory where these MCR library archive files are installed on your machine.

2. Copy the executable and CTF archive to your application root directory, for example, /home/<user>/approot.
3. Add the following platform-specific directories to your dynamic library path.

Note    For readability, the following commands appear on separate lines, but you must enter each setenv command on one line.

Linux.   

• setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/runtime/glnx86:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/os/glnx86:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre1.5.0/lib/i386/native_threads:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre1.5.0/lib/i386/client:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre1.5.0/lib/i386:
  setenv XAPPLRESDIR <mcr_root>/<ver>/X11/app-defaults
  

Solaris.   

• setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH
      /usr/lib/lwp:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/runtime/sol2:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/os/sol2:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/java/jre/sol2/jre1.5.0/lib/sparc/native_threads:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/java/jre/sol2/jre1.5.0/lib/sparc/client:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/java/jre/sol2/jre1.5.0/lib/sparc:
  setenv XAPPLRESDIR <mcr_root>/<ver>/X11/app-defaults
  

Linux x86-64.   

• setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/runtime/glnxa64:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/os/glnxa64:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre1.4.2/lib/amd64/native_threads:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre1.4.2/lib/amd64/client:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/java/jre/glnxa64/jre1.4.2/lib/amd64:
  setenv XAPPLRESDIR <mcr_root>/<ver>/X11/app-defaults
  

HP-UX.   

• setenv SHLIB_PATH
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/runtime/hpux:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/os/hpux:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/bin/hpux:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/java/jre/hpux/jre1.4.1/lib/PA_RISC2.0/server:
      <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/java/jre/hpux/jre1.4.1/lib/PA_RISC2.0
  setenv LD_PRELOAD
  <mcr_root>/<ver>/sys/java/jre/hpux/jre1.4.1/lib/PA_RISC2.0/server/libjvm.sl
  setenv XAPPLRESDIR <mcr_root>/<ver>/X11/app-defaults
  

Note    There is a limitation regarding directories on your path. If the target machine has a MATLAB installation, the <mcr_root> directories must be first on the path in order to run the deployed application. To run MATLAB, the matlabroot directories must be first on the path. This restriction only applies to configurations involving an installed MCR and an installed MATLAB on the same machine.

Executing the Application

Run the magicsquare stand-alone application from the system prompt and provide a number representing the size of the desired magic square, for example, 4.

• magicsquare 4
  

1. The results are displayed as:

   • ans =
         16     2     3    13
          5    11    10     8
          9     7     6    12
          4    14    15     1
