Understanding a Macro Option

The -m option tells the Compiler to produce a stand-alone C application. The -m macro is equivalent to the series of options

```
-W main -T link:exe
```

This table shows the options that compose the -m macro and the information that they provide to the Compiler.

Changing Macro Options

You can change the meaning of a macro option by editing the corresponding macro_option file bundle file in <matlabroot>/toolbox/compiler/bundles. For example, to change the -m macro, edit the file macro_option_m in the bundles directory.

Note This changes the meaning of -m for all users of this MATLAB installation.
