MATLAB: Do I receive the “apps-default” warning when running the deployed standalone executable or shared library from a UNIX or Linux shell

apps-defaultfoundlatestMATLABnotsetenvversionwarningx11

I create a standalone executable or shared library using the MATLAB Compiler. When I run it within my UNIX/Linux shell (e.g. csh/tcsh) I get an "apps-default" warning:

Warning: latest version of matlab app-defaults file not found.

Contact your system administrator to have this file installed.

Although I get the above warning when running my deployed program, it does not prevent me from running my application.

Best Answer

The Linux/UNIX environment variable XAPPLRESDIR should be set to the below path before the standalone executable or shared library runs.

If running against the MCR:

setenv XAPPLRESDIR <mcrroot>/<version>/X11/app-defaults

where mcrroot is the root installation folder of the MCR, and version is the version of the MCR.

If running against MATLAB:

setenv XAPPLRESDIR <matlabroot>/X11/app-defaults

where matlabroot is the root installation folder of MATLAB.

MATLAB: Do I get an error when trying to run the MATLAB R2012b deployed application from the Mac Finder window

This is due to a bug in the R2012b Compiler code and may affect shared libraries as well as standalone applications. Apply the patch below to your MATLAB R2012b installation and then recompile your standalone application to fix the issue. The patch should fix all subsequent compiled applications or libraries.

* Notes *

1. This patch is only for MATLAB Compiler R2012b. Do not apply this patch to other versions of MATLAB.

2. Administrator privileges are necessary to apply the patch.

* To apply the patch *

1. Download the appropriate patch below, attached to this Solution:

R2012b_LauncherFix.patch

These instructions assume you download it to the default location Safari uses, namely the “Downloads” folder of your home folder.

2. Start MATLAB, if it is not already running.

3. Unpack the patch into the correct folder. In the MATLAB Command Window, type:

>> cd(matlabroot)
>> !unzip -o ~/Downloads/R2012b_LauncherFix.patch

This should put the applauncher and prelaunch files into the <matlabroot>/bin/maci64 folder, where <matlabroot> is the installation location of your MATLAB.

4. Add proper permissions to the applauncher and prelaunch files. In the MATLAB Command Window, type:

>> cd([matlabroot '/bin/maci64'])
>> !chmod 775 applauncher
>> !chmod 775 prelaunch

The above code will require administrator privileges. If the CHMOD commands fail, please try the below:

>> cd([matlabroot '/bin/maci64'])
>> !sudo chmod 775 applauncher
>> !sudo chmod 775 prelaunch

The above should prompt administrator password before continuing with CHMOD. The CHMOD command changes the permissions on the patched files so that new deployed components won't run into unexpected permissions issues.

5. Recompile your application or library.

MATLAB: What is the setting for DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on Intel Mac to run an application created with MATLAB Compiler 4.5 (R2006b)

This bug has been fixed in Release 2007a (R2007a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

There is an error within the documentation for MATLAB Compiler 4.5 (R2006b) Intel Mac beta within the reference section titled "UNIX Settings for Development and Testing" and "UNIX Paths for Runtime Deployment".

The settings listed under the subsection for Mac OS X are for Macs with PowerPC chips. For Intel Macs the settings should be as follows.

For Development and Testing on computers with MATLAB Compiler installed:

 setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH 
 matlabroot/bin/maci: 
 matlabroot/sys/os/maci: 
 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/JavaVM: 
 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Libraries
 setenv XAPPLRESDIR matlabroot/X11/app-defaults

For Runtime Deployment on computers with the MCR installed:

 setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH 
 mcr_root/version/runtime/maci: 
 mcr_root/version/sys/os/maci: 
 mcr_root/version/bin/maci: 
 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/JavaVM: 
 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Libraries
 setenv XAPPLRESDIR mcr_root/version/X11/app-defaults
