Is it possible to compile serial port objects with the MATLAB Compiler?

I am using MATLAB to access my serial port. I now want to compile my application to a stand-alone executable with MATLAB Compiler. However, I receive errors when I attempt this.

MATLAB Compiler 4.0 (R14) is able to compile serial port objects as stated here:

Previous versions of the MATLAB Compiler did not support the compilation of objects, and the serial port communications in MATLAB use objects.

As a workaround, you can download the CPORT MEX-file from MATLAB Central File Exchange and use that in your application instead. Some users have reported success with this function:
