Approaches for Building Code Generated from MATLAB Code - MATLAB & Simulink (original) (raw)

You can use a CMake or toolchain approach for building (compiling and linking) code that you generate from MATLAB® code:

• CMake—A third-party, open-source tool for build process management, which uses configuration (CMakeLists.txt) files to generate standard build files for native build environments, for example, makefiles, Ninja files, or Microsoft® Visual Studio® projects. MATLAB ships the CMake executable file. MATLAB Coder™ supports CMake versions from 3.12.0 onwards.
  CMake and the associated CMakeLists.txt file are widely used for building C++ code and can be directly leveraged by command-line tools and IDEs likeMicrosoft Visual Studio, Microsoft Visual Studio Code, Xcode, and CLion.
• Toolchain—The build process generates makefiles and supports custom toolchains. You can control the build process with toolchain information objects that you define by using MATLAB scripts.

Each build process supports:

• Code generation configuration parameters
• The codebuild (Embedded Coder) function
• SIL or PIL execution with Embedded Coder®
