How to convert/run C++ (cpp and hpp files) from a GitHub folder on MATLAB?

Hello,

I was hoping someone would be able to provide me with a clear answer on how to run C++ in MATLAB.

I have run into a folder on GitHub that has peaked my interest, https://github.com/prometey1982/VolvoTools. I do not have access to a program that can run C++, and given I am a University student I do have access to MATLAB.

Is there a possible way to run these files through MATLAB and eventually export it as a .exe file?

I have downloaded the C++ add-on and watched the MATLAB YouTube video, but I am lost as what to do with static libraries and so forth.

I appreciate any and all help!

From within your MATLAB code, you can directly call external C/C++ code, also called custom code or legacy code. To call C/C++ functions, use coder.ceval. The code generator integrates your C/C++ code into the C/C++ code generated from MATLAB. Integrate code when there are external libraries, optimized code, or object files developed in C/C++ that you want to use with your generated code. this seems to be the way out for your problem
