How Does MATLAB Deploy Functions?
To deploy MATLAB functions, the compiler performs these tasks:
MATLAB Data Files in Compiled Applications
Using MATLAB data files in compiled applications
Calling Shared Libraries in Deployed Applications
The loadlibrary function in MATLAB allows
you to load shared library into MATLAB.
Things to consider when creating an Excel Add-in with MATLAB Compiler
MATLAB Functions That Cannot Be Compiled
Functions not able to be compiled with MATLAB Compiler or MATLAB Compiler SDK™
Basics about the dependency analysis function
MEX-Files, DLLs, or Shared Libraries
How the dependency function handles MEX-files, DLLs, and shared libraries
Writing MATLAB code that is sure to compile
Standalone Applications and Arguments
How to pass arguments to standalone applications and run applications that use arguments
This appendix provides a table showing errors you may encounter using MATLAB Compiler, probable causes for these errors, and suggested solutions.
