.m file compatible with linux

How could I transform a .m file to a .tar.gz file to be able to compile it in linux with library compiler? When I use library compiler and I hit "Package" it generates an .exe and I need a linux compatible file. Thank you.

Hi Maria.

To convert a ".m" file to a ".tar.gz" file, follow these steps:

1. Create a folder and include your ".m" file there along with any other input files or data.
2. Then open the terminal or command prompt and navigate to that folder using the "cd" command.
3. Then, the "tar" command can be used to create a compressed archive of that folder.

tar -czvf <filename>.tar.gz .

The "." is specified to tell that all the contents of the current directory are to be compressed.

4. Once you have the ".tar.gz" file, you can transfer it to your linux machine and then decompress it as follows.

tar -xzvf <filename>.tar.gz

This will create a directory containing the ".m" file and other files that you have compressed.

5. Now, open the terminal and navigate to this folder and then use the MATLAB compiler to compile the ".m" file into an executable:

mcc -m <filename>.m

Now you should have an executable that is compatibe with Linux.
