mcc Command Line Arguments Grouped by Task :: MATLAB Compiler Quick Reference (MATLAB® Compiler™)

Option	Description	Comment
`-u`	Registers COM component for current user only on development machine	Valid only for generic COM components and Microsoft Excel add-ins (requiring MATLAB Builder EX)

CTF Archive

Option	Description	Comment
`-a` `filename`	Add `filename` to the CTF archive.	None
`-C`	Directs `mcc` to not embed the CTF archive in C/C++ and main/Winmain shared libraries and standalone binaries by default.	See MCR Component Cache and CTF Archive Embedding for more information.

Debugging

Option	Description	Comment
`-g`	Generate debugging information.	None
`-G`	Same as `-g`	None
`-K`	Directs `mcc` to not delete output files if the compilation ends prematurely, due to error.	`mcc`'s default behavior is to dispose of any partial output if the command fails to execute successfully.
`-v`	Verbose; display compilation steps.	None
`-W` `type`	Control the generation of function wrappers.	`type` = `main` `cpplib:<string>` `lib:<string>` `none` `com:compname, clname,version`
`-?`	Display help message.	None

Dependency Function (depfun) Processing

Option	Description	Comment
`-a` `filename`	Add `filename` to the CTF archive.	None

Licenses

Option	Description	Comment
`-Y licensefile`	Use `licensefile` when checking out a MATLAB Compiler license.	None

MATLAB Builder EX

Option	Description	Comment
`-b`	Generate Excel compatible formula function.	Requires MATLAB Builder EX
`-u`	Registers COM component for current user only on development machine	Valid only for generic COM components and Microsoft Excel add-ins (requiring MATLAB Builder EX)

MATLAB Path

Option	Description	Comment
`-I directory`	Add folder to search path for MATLAB files.	MATLAB path is automatically included when running from MATLAB, but not when running from a DOS/UNIX shell.
`-N`	Clear the path of all but a minimal, required set of folders.	None
`-p directory`	Add `directory` to compilation path in an order-sensitive context.	Requires `-N` option

mbuild

Option	Description	Comment
`-f filename`	Use the specified options file, `filename`, when calling `mbuild`.	`mbuild -setup` is recommended.
`-M string`	Pass string to `mbuild`.	Use to define compile-time options.

MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR)

Option	Description	Comment
`-R``option`	Specify run-time options for MCR.	`option``= -nojvm -nodisplay -logfile filename -startmsg -completemsg filename`
`-S`	Create Singleton MCR.	Requires MATLAB Builder NE

Override Default Inputs

Option Description Comment

Option	Description	Comment
`-B filename[:arg[,arg]]`	Replace `-B filename` on the `mcc` command line with the contents of `filename` (bundle).	The file should contain only `mcc` command-line options. These are MathWorks included options files: `-B csharedlib:foo` — C shared library `-B cpplib:foo` — C++ library

-B filename[:arg[,arg]]

Replace -B filename on the mcc command line with the contents of filename (bundle).

The file should contain only mcc command-line options. These are MathWorks included options files:

-B csharedlib:foo — C shared library
-B cpplib:foo — C++ library

Override Default Outputs

Option Description Comment

Option	Description	Comment
`-d directory`	Place output in specified folder.	None
`-o outputfile`	Specify name of final output file.	Adds appropriate extension
`-e`	Suppresses appearance of the MS-DOS Command Window when generating a standalone application.	Use `-e` in place of the `-m` option. Available for Windows only. Use with `-R` option to generate error logging. Equivalent to `-W WinMain -T link:exe` You can suppress the MS-DOS command window when using `deploytool` by creating a Windows Standalone Application. For information about creating a Windows Standalone Application, open the Deployment Tool Help by clicking the Actions icon ( ).

-d directory

Place output in specified folder.

None

-o outputfile

Specify name of final output file.

Adds appropriate extension

-e

Suppresses appearance of the MS-DOS Command Window when generating a standalone application.

Use -e in place of the -m option. Available for Windows only. Use with -R option to generate error logging. Equivalent to -W WinMain -T link:exe

You can suppress the MS-DOS command window when using deploytool by creating a Windows Standalone Application. For information about creating a Windows Standalone Application, open the Deployment Tool Help by clicking the Actions icon ( ).

Wrappers and Libraries

Option	Description	Comment
`-c`	Generate C wrapper code.	Equivalent to `-T codegen`
`-l`	Macro to create a function library.	Equivalent to `-W lib -T link:lib`
`-m`	Macro to generate a standalone application.	Equivalent to `-W main -T link:exe`
`-W` `type`	Control the generation of function wrappers.	`type` = `main` `cpplib:<string>` `lib:<string>` `none` `com:compname, clname,version`
