Version 4.1 (R14SP1) MATLAB Compiler Software :: MATLAB Compiler Release Notes ( )

You can use MATLAB Compiler 4.1 on supported Solaris systems to create redistributable, standalone applications or software components. These applications or components can then be deployed to other Solaris systems.

We encourage you to use this beta version for Solaris and we appreciate your feedback. We expect to release a fully qualified version of MATLAB Compiler for Solaris as soon as possible.

buildmcr on Solaris

The buildmcr command that ships with MATLAB Compiler 4.1 may fail on some Solaris systems. You must upgrade your buildmcr command if you see the error message:

"Could not redirect CTFARCHIVER output to the MATLAB Desktop"

All Solaris users are advised to upgrade their buildmcr command. For instructions on how to upgrade, see our Support site and search for "Solaris BUILDMCR." This upgrade is not necessary for Windows or Linux users.

Modifying the Dynamic Library Path on Solaris

Development Machine. To run a MATLAB Compiler generated application on your development machine, add the following folders to your dynamic library path.

Note For readability, the following command appears on separate lines, but you must enter it all on one line.

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
	/usr/lib/lwp: 
	matlabroot/bin/sol2: 
	matlabroot/sys/os/sol2: 
	matlabroot/sys/java/jre/sol2/jre1.4.2/lib/
                      sparc/native_threads: 
	matlabroot/sys/java/jre/sol2/jre1.4.2/lib/sparc/client: 
	matlabroot/sys/java/jre/sol2/jre1.4.2/lib/sparc: 
	matlabroot/sys/opengl/lib/sol2:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
setenv XAPPLRESDIR <matlabroot>/X11/app-defaults

Target Machine. To run a MATLAB Compiler generated application on a target machine (a machine without MATLAB that has the MCR installed), add the following folders to your dynamic library path.

Note For readability, the following command appears on separate lines, but you must enter it all on one line.

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
	/usr/lib/lwp: 
	mcr_root/runtime/sol2: 
	mcr_root/sys/os/sol2: 
	mcr_root/sys/java/jre/sol2/jre1.4.2/lib/sparc/native_threads: 
	mcr_root/sys/java/jre/sol2/jre1.4.2/lib/sparc/client: 
	mcr_root/sys/java/jre/sol2/jre1.4.2/lib/sparc: 
	mcr_root/sys/opengl/lib/sol2:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
setenv XAPPLRESDIR <mcr_root>/X11/app-defaults

<mcr_root> is the folder where the MCR is installed.

Redistribution of the Sun sunperf Library

On Solaris, the only compiler that MATLAB Compiler supports is the Sun compiler. If you are a Solaris user who is licensed to use the Sun compiler, you can redistribute the Sun sunperf and dependent libraries, including BLAS, to your end users. For more information, consult your Sun license agreement.

Installing a New Version of the MCR on Windows

The MCRInstaller now supports the installation of multiple versions of the MCR on a target machine. This allows applications compiled with different versions of the MCR to execute side by side on the same machine.

If multiple versions of the MCR are not desired on the target machine, you can run Add or Remove Programs from the Control Panel to remove any of the previous versions. This can be done either before or after installation of a more recent version of the MCR, as versions can be installed or removed in any order.

MCR Version 7.0 Restriction

The only caveat to installing a new version of the MCR is that you cannot automatically install version 7.0 in the same folder as a previously installed version of the MCR. This restriction applies only to version 7.0 of the MCRInstaller. If you must install version 7.0 in the same folder as a previous version, you should first run the version 7.0 MCRInstaller and select that folder. After the installation completes, you should manually add the MCR run-time folder <TargetDir>\v70\runtime\win32 to the system path.

Fixed Bugs

MATLAB Compiler 4.1 includes bug fixes incorporated since Version 4.0.1, which was released via the Web in July 2004. These bug fixes include the following.

Calls to Java Code Work in Deployed Applications

In MATLAB Compiler 4.0 (Release 14), users were not able to deploy MATLAB applications that used certain Java files. For example, they could not deploy the Database Toolbox functions. This bug has been fixed in this release.

Deploying Applications to Non-U.S. Locale Systems

The SET_PARAM error that was generated when an application was deployed to a non-U.S. locale system has been fixed.

Printing Figure Windows

On Windows, the problem of printing figure windows has been resolved and should work as expected.

Using pause in Applications Generated by MATLAB Compiler Software

In Release 14 on Windows, MATLAB Compiler generated applications that used the pause command would occasionally hang. This was more likely to happen if you called pause frequently or you used very small time-out values. This problem has been resolved.
