C++ Shared Library Compiler

Package MATLAB programs for deployment as C++ shared libraries

Since R2025a

Description

The C++ Shared Library Compiler packages MATLAB^® programs into C++ shared libraries that you can integrate into C++ applications. The interactive menus and dialog boxes used in the compiler apps build compiler.build commands that are customized to your specification.

Compiler app advantages include:

• You can perform deployment tasks with a single intuitive interface.

• You can organize your files in a MATLAB project.

• Your project state persists between sessions.

• You can load previously stored compiler tasks from a prepopulated menu.

• You can package applications with an installer for distribution.

Open the C++ Shared Library Compiler App

• MATLAB toolstrip: On the Apps tab, under Application Deployment, click the app icon.

• MATLAB command prompt: Enter cppSharedLibraryCompiler.

Examples

• Package MATLAB Function Using C++ Shared Library Compiler App with MATLAB Data API
• Package MATLAB Function Using C++ Shared Library Compiler App with mwArray API

Version History

Introduced in R2025a

R2025a: Change in app entry point

In R2024b and earlier releases, you can generate C++ shared libraries using the Library Compiler. Starting in R2025a, use the C++ Shared Library Compiler to create C++ shared libraries.

R2025a: Change in output folder name

In R2024b and earlier releases, the compiler apps generate output files in the folders for redistribution, for redistribution_files_only, and for testing. Starting in R2025a, the compiler apps generate output files in a folder named after the compiler task.
