Using the C++ Math Library

Building an Application 

C++ source code for example ex1.cpp is included in the
<matlab>\extern\examples\cppmath directory; <matlab> represents the top-level directory where MATLAB is installed on your system. To verify that mbuild is properly configured on your system to create stand-alone applications, enter at the DOS prompt:

mbuild ex1.cpp

This should create the file called ex1.exe. Stand-alone applications created on Windows 95 or Windows NT always have the extension .exe. The created application is a 32-bit Microsoft Windows console application. If you have a problem using mbuild, see Troubleshooting mbuild.

Shared Libraries (DLLs)

All the WIN32 Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) for the MATLAB C++ Math Library are in the directory

<matlab>\bin

The .def files for the Microsoft and Borland compilers are in the <matlab>\extern\include directory. Import libraries for supported compilers can be found in <matlab>\extern\lib\win32\<compiler>.

Before running a stand-alone application, you must ensure that the directory containing the DLLs is on your path. The directory must be on your operating system $PATH environment variable. On Windows 95, set the value in your autoexec.bat file; on Windows NT, use the Control Panel to set it.

Running Your Application

You can now run your stand-alone application by launching it from the command line. For example,

ex1

  [
         1        3        5 ;
         2        4        6
  ]

  [
         1        4 ;
         2        5 ;
         3        6
  ]
