The compiler, through its exhaustive set of options, gives you access to the tools you need to do your job. If you want a simplified approach to compilation, you can use one simple macro that allows you to quickly accomplish basic compilation tasks. Macros let you group several options together to perform a particular type of compilation.
This table shows the relationship between the macro approach to accomplish a standard compilation and the multioption alternative.
Macro | Bundle | Creates | Option Equivalence
|
|---|---|---|---|
-l | macro_option_l | Library | -W lib -T link:lib |
-m | macro_option_m | Standalone application | -Wmain-Tlink:exe |
The -m option tells the compiler to produce
a standalone application. The -m macro is equivalent
to the series of options
-W main -T link:exe
This table shows the options that compose the -m macro
and the information that they provide to the compiler.
-m Macro
Option | Function |
|---|---|
-W main | Produce a wrapper file suitable for a standalone application. |
-T link:exe | Create an executable link as the output. |
You can change the meaning of a macro by editing the corresponding macro_option file
in matlabroot\toolbox\compiler\bundles-m macro, edit the file macro_option_m in
the bundles folder.
This changes the meaning of -m for all users
of this MATLAB® installation.
As the MCCSTARTUP functionality has been
replaced by bundle technology, the macro_default file
that resides in toolbox\compiler\bundles can be
used to specify default options to the compiler.
For example, adding -mv to the macro_default file
causes the command:
mcc foo.m
mcc -mv foo.m
-v to the macro_default file
causes the command: mcc -W 'lib:libfoo' -T link:lib foo.m
mcc -v -W 'lib:libfoo' -T link:lib foo.m
