compiler.build.Results

Compiler build results object

Since R2020b

Description

A compiler.build.Results object contains information about the build type, generated files, support packages, and build options of a compiler.build function.

All Results properties are read-only. You can use dot notation to query these properties.

With MATLAB^® Compiler™, you can create standalone applications, Excel^® add-ins, or web app archives.

With MATLAB Compiler SDK™, you can create C/C++ shared libraries, .NET assemblies, COM components, Java^® packages, Python^® packages, MATLAB Production Server™ deployable archives, or Excel add-ins for MATLAB Production Server.

Creation

There are several ways to create a compiler.build.Results object.

• Create a standalone application using compiler.build.standaloneApplication (example).

• Create a standalone Windows^® application using compiler.build.standaloneWindowsApplication (example).

• Create a web app archive using compiler.build.webAppArchive (example).

• Create an Excel add-in using compiler.build.excelAddIn (example).

If you have a MATLAB Compiler SDK license, you can also create the following objects.

• Create a C shared library using compiler.build.cSharedLibrary (example).

• Create a C++ shared library using compiler.build.cppSharedLibrary (example).

• Create a .NET assembly using compiler.build.dotNETAssembly (example).

• Create a Java package using compiler.build.javaPackage (example).

• Create a Python package using compiler.build.pythonPackage (example).

• Create a production server archive using compiler.build.productionServerArchive (example).

• Create an Excel add-in for MATLAB Production Server using compiler.build.excelClientForProductionServer (example).

• Create a COM component using compiler.build.comComponent (example).
