How to set the System Target File for Simulink code generation?

Hi,

i have on my computer installed the 2015b Matlab version (8.6) with additional Simulink (8.6) and Malab Coder (3.0) and Compiler (6.1). I am looking to compile the simulink into a shared .dll library, and I need (I think) the ert_shared.tlc. file.

How can I add/include to the existing compiling capabilities this one as well?

Thanks in advance, Codrut

Hi @Codrut Dan,

Kindly, follow the below steps to generate the shared dll library in MATLAB R2015b:

Set up the model for Code Generation:

• Open your Simulink model.
• Go to the Simulink model window and click on Simulation > Model Configuration Parameters.
• In the Configuration Parameters dialog, navigate to Code Generation.

Select the System Target File:

• Under the Code Generation pane, set the System target file to ert_shrlib.tlc. This target file is specifically for generating shared libraries (DLLs).
• If ert_shrlib.tlc is not available, it might indicate that Embedded Coder is not properly installed or configured.

Configure Additional Code Generation Settings:

• Ensure that the Toolchain is set to a compatible compiler. You might need to install a supported C/C++ compiler if it is not already installed.

Generate Code:

• With the model configured, you need to generate the code by clicking Build in the Configuration Parameters dialog.

Verify the Output:

• After the build process completes, you will be able find the generated DLL in the slprj directory within your current working directory.
