Forcing deploytool to include toolbox.

Hello everybody,

I have written a GUI, which uses a Simulink model to perform some calculations. Everything is working when I call my .m file from Matlab, but I'm running into some troubles when trying to build a executable. I think the deploytool is not including the right packages. I've used the employtool, with the main .m file, and associated files. I'm running 7.10.0(R2010a), my version of MCR is 7.13 The output of build is:

Compiler version: 4.13 (R2010a)

Sorry for the long text, but i'm really unsure which parts are relevant to my problem. The deploytool does not encounter serious errors, a .exe is created, alongside with the other usual files. But, when i start the .exe, it stalls at the DOS phase (no GUI is generated) Although I notice that an issue occurs with the toolbox for utSimChangesParameters, which might cause the issue.

mcc.enc file not found for licensed toolbox file C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010a\toolbox\sldo\sldo\utSimChangesParameters.m

The same issue also occurs with the

mcc.enc file not found for licensed toolbox file C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010a\toolbox\rtw\targets\mpc555dk\rt\blockset\mfiles\getuniquesignalname.p

The reason I think this is the issue is because the errorfile shows:

{??? Undefined function or method 'simset' for input arguments of type 'char'.

Error in ==> Toolex>Toolex_OpeningFcn at 187

Error in ==> gui_mainfcn at 221

Error in ==> Toolex at 64

} 
MATLAB:UndefinedFunction

If my reasoning is correct, how can I make sure that the utSimChangesParameters.m is included in my executable?

Thanks in advance, and I hope you guys can help me out =)

Hi,

Simulink and all other Toolboxes which are based on Simulink can't be compiled with ML Compiler:

http://www.mathworks.de/products/ineligible_programs/

Consider using Embedded Coder to generate a DLL out of your SL model. Use that DLL back in ML with loadlibrary. In that way you get rid of SL and your code can be compiled just fine.

[Roy Veldhuizen]

Thank you for your quick reply.

I'm going to try this, but i'm not sure if this is going to work. I also use parameter optimization, which is based on my SL model. Will this still work if I use it on a DLL?

Thanks in advance

[Friedrich]

I am not familar with the details of the code generation. This is maybe a good point for starting a new thread and ask for the ways to get your model into a DLL without loosing much functionality.

[Roy Veldhuizen]

OK, I will do that, thank you very much.

By the way, I just tried to generate the code of my SimuLink model (using Tools->Real Time Workshop->Build Model), but the only result was a file 'my_simulink_model_name.exe'. Is this what you meant? I guess this is what you meant http://www.mathworks.nl/videos/introduction-to-embedded-coder-68810.html?type=large, but I'm not able to get the PCG option mentioned in the model-explorer. I do have an code standing under 'code', but I'm not sure how to proceed..

Hi,

not really. I guess you need to do something like shown here:

http://www.mathworks.de/support/solutions/en/data/1-27DUK5/index.html

The imporant information is in the note:

"To deploy a host executable without an accessible installation folder, consider using the Host-Based Shared Library Library target (ert_shrlib)"

So you need to set the target to ert_shrlib in order to get a DLL. Use that DLL with loadlibrary in MATLAB.
