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).

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.

Is it possible to install into other path than the MATLAB's toolbox path?
