How to create an executable exe file from a m file

Question

I was wondering if there is a way to create a   exe  file from     m  file in MATLAB  such that it can be run in machine which does not have MATLAB  like it can be done in C  C      I know writing a MATLAB function is one way  but I am not sure if it can run in machine without MATLAB    Also I would like to hide my code and just create a script which can be run by a user using his own data files

If you have MATLAB Compiler installed  there s a GUI option for compiling  Try entering  deploytool   in the command line  Mathworks does a pretty good job documenting how to use it in this video tutorial  http   www mathworks com products demos compiler deploytool index html  Also  if you want to include user input such as choosing a file or directory  look into  uigetfile   or uigetdir if you need every file in a directory   for use in conjunction with  guide

The  StandAlone  method to compile  m file  or files  requires a set of Matlab published library   dll  files on a target  non-Matlab  platform to allow execution of the compiler generated  exe   Check MATLAB main site for their compiler products and their limitations

I developed a non-matlab software for direct compilation of m-files  TMC Compiler   This is an open-source converter of m-files projects to C  The compiler produces the C code that may be linked with provided open-source run-time library to produce a stand-alone application  The library implements a set of build-in functions  the linear-algebra operations use LAPACK code  It is possible to expand the set of the build-in functions by custom implementation as described in the documentation

mcc -    explains that the syntax to make   exe  Standalone Application  with   m is    mcc -m  lt matlabFile m gt     For example   mcc -m file m   will create file exe in the curent directory

If your code is more of a data analysis routine  vs  visualization   GUI   try GNU Octave  It s free and many of its functions are compatible with MATLAB   Not 100  but maybe 99 5

It used to be possible to compile Matlab to C with older versions of Matlab  Check out other tools that Matlab comes with   Newest Matlab code can be exported as a Java s jar or a  Net Dll  etc  You can then write an executable against that library - it will be obfuscated by the way  The users will have to install a freely available Matlab Runtime   Like others mentioned  mcc   mcc exe is what you want to convert matlab code to C code

The Matlab Compiler is the standard way to do this  mcc is the command   The Matlab Runtime is required to run the programs  I m not sure if it can be directly integrated with the executable or not
