MATLAB® Compiler™

Requirements

System Requirements

To install MATLAB Compiler, you must have the proper version of MATLAB installed on your system. The MATLAB Compiler Platform & Requirements page, which is accessible from our Web site, provides this information. MATLAB Compiler imposes no operating system or memory requirements beyond those that are necessary to run MATLAB. MATLAB Compiler consumes a small amount of disk space.

MATLAB Compiler requires that a supported ANSI C or C++ compiler be installed on your system. Certain output targets require particular compilers.

Note   Before you use MATLAB Compiler for the first time, you must run mbuild -setup to configure your C/C++ compiler to work with MATLAB Compiler.

In general, MATLAB Compiler supports the current release of a third-party compiler and its previous release. Since new versions of compilers are released on a regular basis, it is important to check our Web site for the latest supported compilers.

Supported Third-Party Compilers

For an up-to-date list of all the compilers supported by MATLAB and MATLAB Compiler, see the MathWorks™ Technical Support Department's Technical Notes at

http://www.mathworks.com/support/tech-notes/1600/1601.shtml 

Supported ANSI C and C++ Windows Compilers

Use one of the following 32-bit C/C++ compilers that create 32-bit Windows dynamically linked libraries (DLLs) or Windows applications:

• Lcc C version 2.4.1 (included with MATLAB). This is a C-only compiler; it does not work with C++.

• Microsoft^® Visual C++^® (MSVC) Versions 6.0, 7.1, and 8.0.

  Note   The only compiler that supports the building of COM objects and Excel® plug-ins is Microsoft Visual C++ (Versions 6.0, 7.1, and 8.0). The only compiler that supports the building of .NET objects is Microsoft Visual C# Compiler for the .NET Framework (Version 2.0 and higher).

Supported ANSI C and C++ UNIX Compilers

MATLAB Compiler supports the native system compilers on Solaris. On Linux, Linux x86-64, and Mac OS X, MATLAB Compiler supports gcc and g++.
