compiling matlab GUI without matlab compiler

Question

I was trying to create a stand-alone GUI in matlab for someone without matlab to use, and was wondering how I can go about doing it without buying the matlab compiler.

There was one post I found here:

Extra window problem when generating.exe file with MATLAB

how do you go about setting up this? and if this still requires a compiler, what are my options? Some open sourced compilers perhaps?

Answer 1

If you want to compile MATLAB code, you need the MATLAB Compiler . Period.

You could try converting your MATLAB code to C or C++, then compiling that with a C or C++ compiler. However, the conversion would require MATLAB Coder , another product you would need to purchase.

Your only real option if you are unwilling or unable to purchase the MATLAB Compiler is to request a free product trial . The only limitation I know of is that it's not available to students, but there may be others.
