MATLAB Compiler

Building and Packaging an Application or Library

Using MATLAB Compiler, you can automatically package your MATLAB application into:

• Standalone applications
• C or C++ libraries (DLLs in Windows^®, shared libraries in Linux^® and UNIX^®)
• Software components, such as Java classes, .NET assemblies, or Excel add-ins for use within other applications (with MATLAB builder products)

The Deployment Tool is a graphical user interface (GUI) that comes with MATLAB Compiler. It offers a graphical alternative to using the MATLAB command-line interface to build and package components for deployment on a different computer. With the Deployment Tool you can:

• Designate your main MATLAB function
• Add any supporting files that will not be automatically found through dependency checking, such as data files or images
• Save compilation and packaging preferences

When you build the application or component, MATLAB Compiler determines which MATLAB functions are necessary to support the files you have included and encrypts your code. It then wraps the files as an executable or component.
