Hey experts,
as the long title stated, I need help with a compiled standalone application. First of all a little introduction:
I wrote a gui-based tool in GUIDE.
This tool invokes shared libraries. I did everything according to the documentations
everything works, when I run it under MATLAB.
It also works smoothly if i compile it in a standalone .exe (using the MATLAB Compiler app) - but only when the dll-files are in the same directory as the .exe file.
even the documentation says (i don't know how to quote in this editor):
3. Compile and deploy the application.
- If you are integrating the library into a deployed application, specify the library’s .dll along with library_thunk_pcwin64.dll, if created, using the -a option of mcc command. If you are using Application Compiler or Library Compiler apps, add the .dll files to the Files required for your application to run section of the app.
- If you are providing the library as an external file that is not integrated with the deployed application, place the library .dll file in the same folder as the compiled application. If you are on Windows, you must integrate library_thunk_pcwin64.dll into your compiled application.
- I am doing exactly as stated in 3.1. I add the dll's to the "Files required for your application to run" section:
- I show this for a demo-gui. and the size of the resulting .exe file is 14MB (if i don't add the dll's it is about 2mb).
- the packaging log is given as:

- if I run it, I got this error in windows command window:
Error using loadlibrary There was an error loading the library "idc2caligraph" Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden. Error in demo_ziqi>pushbutton1_Callback (line 87) Error in gui_mainfcn (line 95) Error in demo_ziqi (line 42) Error in matlab.graphics.internal.figfile.FigFile/read>@(hObject,eventdata)demo_ziqi('pushbutton1_Callback',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject)) Caused by: Error using loaddefinedlibrary Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden.

- here is an example code on how I invoke the shared libraries
function pushbutton1_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
[filename, pathname] = uigetfile('*.idc','Please choose an IDC file to load:');
idc_file_fullpath = [pathname, filesep, filename];
if not(libisloaded('idc2caligraph')), loadlibrary('idc2caligraph', @idc2caligraph); end

disp('************************************')
CLIB_INIT_STATUS = initializeIDC(idc_file_fullpath, 0.9999, '4p1', true);
disp(['function ''initializeIDC'' 1st invoke status: ', CLIB_INIT_STATUS]);
assert(strcmp(CLIB_INIT_STATUS, 'IDC2CALIGRAPH_OK'))
tic
[scans, points, CLIB_GETSCAN_STATUS] = getScan(42, queried_scan_indices, 'serial');
disp(['function ''getScan'' serial invoke status: ', CLIB_GETSCAN_STATUS]);

disp('************************************')
save('demo_ziqi.mat', 'scans', 'points', 'meta_data')
unloadlibrary idc2caligraph
- now my question: Why does it work if the dll's are in the same directory. But not if the dll's are not there? I don't want to handover the dll's. Did I do something wrong during compilation?
here is some information about my system, let me know if you need other information.
