Code Compilation Customization
Customize compilation stage of build process
If you install supported build tools, you can configure a build process that produces executable code after code generation. You can customize the compilation stage of the build process.
For the toolchain approach:
Using the
target
package, create custom CMake toolchain definitions.Using a
ToolchainInfo
object, register and use a custom toolchain.
For the template makefile approach:
Customize a shipped template makefile.
Create and run a post-code-generation command.
Create and apply hook methods at specific points of the build process.
Customize generated makefiles for S-functions.

Topics
Compiler
- Select and Configure C or C++ Compiler
Consider programming language compliance for generated code and select a compiler for the build process. - Control Compiler Optimizations
Control compiler optimizations for your makefile at the Simulink® UI level. - Troubleshoot Compiler Issues
Identify and fix issues that prevent compiler operation in the build process. - Control Build Process Compiling and Linking
Select whether build process ends after code generation and (for template makefile approach) select template makefile options.
Library Names and Locations
- Control Library Location and Naming During Build
Choose the location for precompiled, non-precompiled, and model reference libraries and select the file extension that the build process applies to libraries.
CMake Toolchain Approach
- Create Custom CMake Toolchain Definition
Capture high-level information about CMake-based toolchain and the target hardware it supports.
ToolchainInfo
Approach
- Custom Toolchain Registration
Register third-party software build tools for creating executables and libraries. - Register Custom Toolchain and Build Executable
Register and use a toolchain to build an executable program. - Troubleshooting Custom Toolchain Validation
Troubleshoot validation errors.
Template Makefile Approach
- Template Makefiles and Make Options
Template makefiles that are built into the code generator. - Customize Template Makefiles
Develop a custom template makefile to control the build process. - Customize Post-Code-Generation Build Processing
Modify the build process with a post-code-generation command and (optionally) use build information objects to augment this process. - Customize Build Process with STF_make_rtw_hook File
Modify the build process with the build process hook mechanism in a custom
hook file.STF
_make_rtw_hook.m - Replace STF_rtw_info_hook Supplied Target Data
For custom targets created prior to MATLAB® Release 14, update use of custom
hook for specifying target-specific characteristics.STF
_make_rtw_hook - Customize Build Process with sl_customization.m
Modify the build process with the build process hook mechanism in a custom sl_customization.m hook file.
S-Function Build
- Use makecfg to Customize Generated Makefiles for S-Functions
Configure makefile generation for the S-function build process.
