Generate Interface to school Library

Step 1 of 4 in Header-Only HPP File

Verify Selected C++ Compiler

You can use any C++ compiler supported by MathWorks. To verify that you have a C++ compiler, type:

mex -setup cpp

This example uses the MinGW64 compiler.

Generate Definition File

Identify the name and path to the C++ library artifacts. By default, the function uses the name of the header file (school) as the name of the library (libname).

productPath = fullfile(matlabroot,'extern','examples','cpp_interface');
hppFile = 'school.hpp';

Generate the library definition file. MATLAB^® creates the definition file defineschool.mlx.

clibgen.generateLibraryDefinition(fullfile(productPath,hppFile), ...
    "OverwriteExistingDefinitionFiles",true)

Open Definition File

Open the generated definition file in Live Editor by clicking the link in the output message. Then continue with the next step.
