Build on Windows Operating Systems - MATLAB & Simulink (original) (raw)
Main Content
To compile and link MAT-file programs, use the mex script with the -client engine option.
This example shows how to build the example matcreat.c. Use this example to verify the build configuration for your system. matcreat is a C program that demonstrates how to use the MAT-File API routines to create a MAT-file that you can load into MATLAB®. For more information, see Create MAT-File in C or C++.
To build the example, first copy the source code to a writable folder on your path.
copyfile(fullfile(matlabroot,'extern','examples','eng_mat','matcreat.c'),'.','f')
Use the following command to build it.
mex -client engine matcreat.c
To modify the build instructions for your particular compiler, use the -v -n options to view the current compiler and linker settings. Then, modify the settings using the mex _`varname`_=_`varvalue`_ option.
