Is it possible to create a stand alone executable without the Matlab Compiler toolbox?

I don't have the Matlab Compiler toolbox, but would like to generate a standalone executable. Is it possible to do so without the toolbox?

Yes. The MATLAB Coder product does not require MATLAB Compiler product.

MATLAB Coder is much more restricted as to what it can generate. In particular, it cannot generate much graphics, so if you wanted a graphic interface you would have to find a way to add one on.

Note: the MATLAB Coder product is much more expensive than MATLAB Compiler.

Any ways around using either the compiler or coder toolbox? Right now, I just have the basics available to me. Is there a way forward (I assume significantly more involved)?

That won't have much in the way of graphics support.

You might be able to rig something up using Free Software Foundation's Octave.
