MATLAB: Generating Code from RTW and compiling using MSVC++ 2008 express edition

msvc++ 2008 express editionrtw generated codesdk v6.1

Hello,

I'm using Matlab 2010a (32bit) & MSVC++ 2008 express edition with SDk v6.1. I am able to build dll's using RTW for 32bit applications without any trouble.

However I cannot do the same for 64bit applications (obviously as Matlab 2010a is 32bit version).

Therefore I wonder if I can use the RTW generated code and take it into MSVC++ 2008 environment and compile the code targeting 64bit platform.

If possible, can someone kindly direct me to an example which does/explains the above step by step (as ive never ever used MSVC++ 2008 express edition GUI environment)?

PS: I've installed x64 components of the compiler.

Cheers,

I don't know if this has been tried before, so I can't provide a link to an existing example. However, it should definitely be possible. I think the easiest way is to select the System target file (in the Configuration Parameters window's Code Generation pane) that corresponds to "Create Visual C/C++ solution file" - this should create a Visual Studio project (solution file) that you can directly load into Visual Studio - hopefully the only changes you will need to make are the ones related to the x64 target.

MATLAB: Is Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express on win64 supported for MATLAB Compiler 4.9 (R2008b)

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2009a (R2009a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

The ability to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition on Win-64 with the MATLAB Compiler 4.9 (R2008b) is not available.

MATLAB: Do I get the error “The specified module could not be found (126)” when running a compiled stand-alone that uses LOADLIBRARY to load a shared DLL that has been compiled using MSVC++ 2005

Copying the missing file msvcr80.dll to the application's folder does not work because the Microsoft Visual C/C++ Runtime files require Side-by-Side deployment.

Running a compiled stand-alone that loads a shared DLL that has been compiled with MSVC++ 2005 requires a manifest file for the executable, in order for the operating system to load the C/C++ runtime libraries correctly.

To work around this issue, create a file with the same name as your executable and the additional extension ".manifest". For example if your executable is called "MyTest.exe", create a new empty file called "MyTest.exe.manifest" in the same folder that contains the executable. Now open the file with a text editor and enter the following XML code in it:

 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>
 <assembly xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1' manifestVersion='1.0'>
   <dependency>
     <dependentAssembly>
       <assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.VC80.CRT' version='8.0.50727.762' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' />
     </dependentAssembly>
   </dependency>
 </assembly>

Running the stand-alone application should now work correctly.
