Approaches for Building Code Generated from MATLAB Code
You can use a CMake or toolchain approach for building (compiling and linking) code that you generate from MATLAB® code:
CMake—A third-party, open-source tool for build process management, which uses configuration (
CMakeLists.txt
) files to generate standard build files for native build environments, for example, makefiles, Ninja files, or Microsoft® Visual Studio® projects. MATLAB ships the CMake executable file. MATLAB Coder™ supports CMake versions from 3.12.0 onwards.CMake and the associated
CMakeLists.txt
file are widely used for building C++ code and can be directly leveraged by command-line tools and IDEs like Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft Visual Studio Code, Xcode, and CLion.Toolchain—The build process generates makefiles and supports custom toolchains. You can control the build process with toolchain information objects that you define by using MATLAB scripts.
Each build process supports:
