Compiler error message: signal 127

I built a Graphical Interface (let's call it myGUI)that works perfectly from Matlab. I'm trying to make a standalone version of it and built it without any error or warning messages from the compiler. Then when I try to launch it from Matlab

>> cd myGUI/distrib/myGUI.app/Contents/MacOS/
>> !./myGUI
Undefined function or variable 'myGUI'.

MATLAB:UndefinedFunction
./myGUI: Signal 127

My problem is that this error message does not give me much information about where to start looking. Any idea where the problem may come from ?

Thanks a lot

Jean

ps: I'm working on a Mac running Mac OS 10.8.2 with R2012b.

Answer 1

[Jean Bilheux]

I kept playing with the files and found the issue. I had a startup.m routine that had for goal to add the various folders to the Matlab path when starting the application... this makes the compiler unhappy. Renaming it myStartup.m and calling it from inside the main routine works this time.

Thanks Walter for your help.

Is it a script or a function? I don't know if scripts can be compiled yet (possibly they added that capability recently.)

Answer 3

[Jean Bilheux]

It's a function.. well a set a functions. The main function was created automatically with GUIDE.

[Walter Roberson]

I do not know if it is necessary, but did you try adding the .fig file as an additional resource? Also, is the executable name exactly the same name as the GUI ?

I tried with same and different names...the same. I also tried to add the .fig or even all the .m files in the resources....always the same message.
