I got the error: undefined reference to WinMain when converting a simple matlab function to a c executable

29 次查看(过去 30 天)
Using coder to generate c executable result in an error. Here is part of the Matlab verbose
C:/crossdev/src/etc.. undefined reference to WinMain collect2.exe: error: 1d returned 1 exit status gmake: * [c:/temp/prodtest.exe] error 1 the make command returned an error of 2 An_error_occured_during_the_call_to_make is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Error(s) encountered while building "prodtest' ### Failed to generate all binary outputs.
Strangely, Matlab is looking at c:/crossdev/src... but the crossdev folder does not exist on my machine. In short, Matlab is able to generate the c++ code but not the executable

Hi as Quinghua said you should generate the C/C++ code first and then generate the exe. BUT before you generate the exe I think you need to make sure your setting will compile the main.c/main.h files in the examples folder.
  1. Go to "more settings" under the generation step of the coder app
2. Search "main" under "all settings"
3. Under "generate example main" set the value to "generate and compile an example main function" (see image above)

I am trying to convert this simple code into excutable using matlab coder.
function y = hello_world
%#codegen
y = 'Hello World!';
converting to source code C works but when i change the build type to Executable
It gives me this error:
Build error: C compiler produced errors. See the Build Log for further details.

same problem here. "undefined reference to `WinMain". I can create the C files, but not an executable. I am on 2017b... not suppose to be a problem. I installed via the add-on manager in MATLAB without errors.
Here are some responses from the command window that I get:
mex -setup
ans = MEX configured to use 'MinGW64 Compiler (C)' for C language compilation.
getenv('MW_MINGW64_LOC')
ans = 'C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2017b\3P.instrset\mingw_w64.instrset'

Why this gives problem in C Coder. Error: Directly accessing field or property of nonscalar struct or object not supported for code generation.
s1=string({OPS_FLT(:).ACFT_ID})
s2=OPS_FLT(2).ACFT_ID
uuindex=find(strcmpi(s1,s2))
({OPS_FLT(:).ACFT_ID}) has already been defined as
OPS_FLT(1).ACFT_ID="apple"
OPS_FLT(2).ACFT_ID="orange"
I am trying to find orange from the array. It works in Matlab but not in C Coder

most probably, you shoud RTFM cited by @upol
according to the manual, you should generate code file first, then generated a main.c and main.h that satisfied your apps based on the generated example/main.c and example/main.h
finally, you should run the prj file again, add Additional source files and Additional include directories, Generate.
