Compile SignalAnalyzer App to Standalone exe

Is it possible to use the Matlab Compiler to create a standalone version of the SignalAnalyzer? The sources of the SignalAnalyzer are obfuscated by pcode, therefore dependencies cannot be found automatically.

Is it basically possible to compile p code?

Thanks!

I'm not completely sure but I believe the answers to your questions are no and maybe respectively.

The Signal Analyzer app is part of Signal Processing Toolbox. When I look at the page listing what toolboxes and functionality in each toolbox can be compiled it says that "Apps and UIs" in Signal Processing Toolbox cannot be compiled.

There's an entry in the MATLAB Compiler Release Notes that states "The new dependency resolution function requires that p-code being used in a compiled function has an associated .m file containing the original source for the p-code." So it sounds to me like it is possible to compile a p-coded file as long as MATLAB Compiler can perform the dependency analysis on the regular MATLAB code file from which the p-coded file was generated.

Thanks for pointing out these information. Sad to hear though. Compiling the Signal Analyzer app would be great. Do you or anybody else know, where the main problem of compiling UI and Apps is?

The first sentence on the MATLAB Compiler support page to which I linked above is "MATLAB Compiler supports the full MATLAB language including objects, most MATLAB toolboxes, and user-developed user interfaces." So you can use MATLAB Compiler with App Designer to deploy your own app. [In fact, starting with release R2018a you can package App Designer apps for web deployment.]

If you want to ask about the Signal Analyzer app from Signal Processing Toolbox specifically, that's a question you should send to Technical Support using the Contact Us link in the upper-right corner of this page.

Okay I'll contact the support, thanks.

What I meant with "UI and Apps" is that most of the "Apps and UIs" (right column in here https://de.mathworks.com/products/compiler/supported/compiler_support.html) of most toolboxes cannot be compiled and I ask myself, why. I do know that Appdesigner UIs can be built.

Thanks.
