Building a Stand-Alone Application on Microsoft Windows
This section explains how to compile and link C code into stand-alone Windows
applications.
Configuring for C or C++
mbuild determines whether to compile in C or C++ by examining the type of
files you are compiling. Table 1-1 shows the file extensions that mbuild
interprets as indicating C or C++ files. If you include both C and C++ files,
mbuild uses the C++ compiler and the MATLAB C++ Math Library. If mbuild
cannot deduce from the file extensions whether to compile in C or C++, mbuild
invokes the C compiler.
Table 1-3: Windows File Extensions for mbuild
Language
Extension(s)
C
.c
C++
.cpp
.cxx
.cc
Note You can override the language choice that is determined from the
extension by using the -lang option of mbuild. For more information about
this option, as well as all of the other mbuild options, see Table 1-5.
Locating Options Files
To locate your options file, the mbuild script searches the following:
• The current directory
• The user Profiles directory
• <matlab>\bin
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
