Simulink library for "all" version of Simulink/Matlab

Hi

We created library to be used in Simulink (additional blocks for communication) So far so good! Until now we told the user to add the path to our lib in his Matlab/Simulink installation and everything worked fine. The problem is with the version (AFAIK 2015a) the library MUST be in the slx format,

Is there a way to generate a library only once and it works in "all" versions? or is there a trick, so it works in "most" cases?

regards

Hello

The answer is more simple then first assumed..

I save two version of the library

• MDL-Lib saved in the oldest "possible" format (eg. 2008a)
• SLX-Lib saved in a newer Version (eg. 2013a)

If both files are in the path, older Matlab version take the mdl version and the newer take the slx. It works quite good. the only issue is with version 2012a/b because they already use the slx version but miss some features we used, so on startup you get a bunch of warnings (which can be ignored because they don't effect functionality)

Try saving the libraries in mdl format and then it would be compatible with all previous releases. AFAIK libraries can be saved in mdl or slx format in R2015a.
