Package MATLAB Functions

Package MATLAB^® functions for use in applications coded in other languages

Before you can integrate MATLAB functions into external applications, you need to package them for the target language. MATLAB Compiler SDK™ includes two apps and a command-line compiler for this purpose. The apps guide you in specifying functions to package and in creating an installer. Target-language developers install the compiled code on the development system, along with the MATLAB Runtime, which is necessary to run the code. At the command-line, you can package the MATLAB functions into a binary package the target language developer uses in developing their applications.
