Thread Subject:

Conversion from .p file to .exe file

I have a gui in matlab.


I made a cryptographic file (with .p file extension) using pcode function of matlab.

My question is:

Can I make an .exe file from that .p file automatically?

So I don't want to make an .exe file from a .m file using mcc command or deployment tool.

I want to know if it's possible to create an exe file from a .p file.

Michael

Any ideas please?

Conversion from .p file to .exe file.

mcc does not support pcoded files to my knowledge.

If you wish to make a standalone exe (without MCR dependencies) you
would need to code the original m-file in C or similar.

The m-files processed by mcc should be encrypted though so there is no
need to pcode if you use the mcc.

In R2009a releases notes ( http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/compiler/rn/brwhujw-1.html) , we can read:
"MATLAB Pcode Files Can Now Be Compiled
You can now compile MATLAB Preparsed Pseudocode files (Pcode files or "P-files"). "

But it is quite strange that I was able to achieve this in 8b under Windows:

First I tried in a "old" release:
1) R2006b
First I tried to compile directly a pcode file in R2006b as follows:
>>pcode my_pcode.m % (dummy function with just a command to plot(1:10))
Then I deleted the mypcode.m just to keep the output file my_pcode.p
>>delete my_pcode.m
And last I invoked MATLAB Compiler:
>>mcc - mv my_pcode
and I got the expected error message:
Error: File "my_pcode" not found.

2) R2008b or R2009a
I reproduced the same steps in 8b and 9a and got an executable my_pcode.exe
Compilation verbose doesn't give any error message

So I don't know why it is mentionned in the releases notes that it is only available as of 9a ...

I made a gui interface and I wanted to know if it is possible!


Thanks for your very well explanations!

Thank you very much to all of you!

Best regards,

Michael
