mcc Command Line Arguments Grouped by Task

COM Components

Option	Description	Comment
`-u`	Registers COM component for current user only on development machine	Valid only for generic COM components and Microsoft^® Excel^® add-ins (requiring MATLAB^® Compiler™)

Deployable Archive

Option	Description	Comment
`-a` `path`	Add `path` to the deployable archive.	If you specify a folder name, all files in the folder are added. If you use a wildcard (`*`), all files matching the wildcard are added.
`-C`	Directs `mcc` to not embed the deployable archive in C/C++ and main/Winmain shared libraries and standalone binaries by default.	None
`-h` `filename`	Specify a custom help text file.	Display help file contents at runtime using `-?` or `/?`. Valid for standalone applications, C/C++ shared libraries, COM, and Excel targets.

Protect Source Code

Option	Description	Comment
`-j`	Automatically convert all `.m` files to P-files before packaging.
`-k "file=<key_file_path>;loader=<mex_file_path>"`	Specify AES encryption key and MEX-file loader interface to retrieve decryption key at runtime.	If you do not specify any arguments after `-k`, `mcc` generates a 256-bit AES key and a loader MEX-file.
`-s`	Obfuscate folder structures and file names in the deployable archive (`.ctf` file) from the end user.

Debugging

Option	Description	Comment
`-?`	Display help message.	None
`-g`	Generate debugging information.	None
`-G`	Same as `-g`	None
`-K`	Directs `mcc` to not delete output files if the compilation ends prematurely, due to error.	`mcc`'s default behavior is to dispose of any partial output if the command fails to execute successfully.
`-v`	Verbose; display compilation steps.	None
`-W``type`	Control the generation of function wrappers.	`type` = `main` `cpplib:<string>` `lib:<string>` `none` `com:compname,clname,version`

MATLAB Compiler for Excel Add-Ins

Option	Description	Comment
`-b`	Generate Excel compatible formula function.	Requires MATLAB Compiler. Cannot be used in a `deploytool` app.
`-u`	Registers COM component for current user only on development machine	Valid only for generic COM components and Microsoft Excel add-ins (requiring MATLAB Compiler)

MATLAB Path

Option	Description	Comment
`-I directory`	Add folder to search path for MATLAB files.
`-N`	Clear the path of all but a minimal, required set of folders.	None
`-p directory`	Add `directory` to compilation path in an order-sensitive context.	Requires `-N` option

mbuild

Option	Description	Comment
`-f filename`	Use the specified options file, `filename`, when calling `mbuild`.	`mbuild -setup` is recommended.
`-M string`	Pass string to `mbuild`.	Use to define compile-time options.

MATLAB Runtime

Option	Description	Comment
`-R` `option`	Specify run-time options for MATLAB Runtime.	`option``= -nojvm -nodisplay '-logfile,filename' -startmsg -completemsg filename`
`-S`	Create Singleton MATLAB Runtime.	Default for generic COM components. Valid for Microsoft Excel and Java^® packages.

Override Default Inputs

Option Description Comment

Option	Description	Comment
`-B``filename``[:arg[,arg]]`	Replace `-B filename` on the `mcc` command line with the contents of `filename` (bundle).	The file should contain only `mcc` command-line options. These are MathWorks^® included options files: `-B csharedlib:foo` (C shared library) `-B cpplib:foo` (C++ library) Cannot be used in a `deploytool` app.

-B

filename[:arg[,arg]]

Replace -B filename on the mcc command line with the contents of filename (bundle).

The file should contain only mcc command-line options. These are MathWorks^® included options files:

-B csharedlib:foo (C shared library)
-B cpplib:foo (C++ library)

Cannot be used in a deploytool app.

Override Default Outputs

Option Description Comment

Option	Description	Comment
`-d directory`	Place output in specified folder.	None
`-e`	Suppresses appearance of the MS-DOS Command Window when generating a standalone application.	Use `-e` in place of the `-m` option. Available for Windows^® only. Use with `-R` option to generate error logging. Equivalent to `-W WinMain -T link:exe` The standalone app compiler suppresses the MS-DOS command window by default. To unsuppress it, unselect Do not display the Windows Command Shell (console) for execution in the Additional Runtime Settings area.
`-o outputfile`	Specify name of final output file.	Adds appropriate extension

-d directory

Place output in specified folder.

None

-e

Suppresses appearance of the MS-DOS Command Window when generating a standalone application.

Use -e in place of the -m option. Available for Windows^® only. Use with -R option to generate error logging. Equivalent to -W WinMain -T link:exe

The standalone app compiler suppresses the MS-DOS command window by default. To unsuppress it, unselect Do not display the Windows Command Shell (console) for execution in the Additional Runtime Settings area.

-o outputfile

Specify name of final output file.

Adds appropriate extension

Wrappers and Libraries

Option	Description	Comment
`-c`	Suppress compiling and linking of the generated C wrapper code.	Must be used in conjunction with the `-l` option.
`-l`	Macro to create a function library.	Equivalent to `-W lib -T link:lib`
`-m`	Macro to generate a standalone application.	Equivalent to `-W main -T link:exe`
`-W``type`	Control the generation of function wrappers.	`type` = `main` `cpplib:<string>` `lib:<string>` `none` `com:compname,clname,version`

Licenses

Option	Description	Comment
`-Y licensefile`	Use `licensefile` when checking out a MATLAB Compiler license.	The `-Y` flag works only with the command-line mode. >>!mcc -m foo.m -Y license.lic
