makeinstall

22 Mar 2002 (Updated 19 Jun 2009)

Create a single install file for your toolbox distribution.

File Information
Description	You have a created a toolbox with a lot of MATLAB files and now you need a simple way to distribute this toolbox? With MAKEINSTALL you will be able to automatically create a single INSTALL.M file, which includes a simple installation routine and all the Matlab programmes needed for the toolbox. The install script will modify your system in order to use the toolbox instantly. An illustration of the install script is available on http://www.agnld.uni-potsdam.de/~marwan/toolbox (-> installation). Project homepage: http://www.agnld.uni-potsdam.de/~marwan/6.download/makeinstall.php White Paper: http://www.agnld.uni-potsdam.de/~marwan/6.download/whitepaper_makeinstall.html Makeinstall needs Matlab 5.3 or newer because it uses commands that are not available in previous versions.
Acknowledgements	This submission has inspired the following: Makeinstall Technology, CSE SQL Database Library, disp_inmem, mgui
MATLAB release	MATLAB 6.5 (R13)
Other requirements	It should work with all MATLAB versions since R11 and on all platforms (tested on R12, R13, R14, 2007-2009).
Zip File Content
Other Files	license.txt, makeinstall.m
