Pass function as an argument to standalone application.

Hello guys!

I am very new to matlab so please be understanding:) I work on Linux.

I have a function called testwindow that as an argument requires another function stored in another m-file (configuration file).

I need to make it work as a standalone application (to be able to run on a computer without Matlab installed just MCR - Matlab Compile Runtime). So I installed MCR and used Matlab compiler to packed it into a standalone application:

mcc -m -v -w enable -R -startmsg -R -completemsg testwindow.m

And everything went ok, but when I try to run it and pass the "config" function (below) as argument I receive an error:

 piotr@sapphira:~/mlvessel-1.4/src/tests$ ./testwindow driveconfig
Initializing MATLAB Compiler Runtime version 8.1
Attempt to reference field of non-structure array.

 Error in testwindow (line 30)

 MATLAB:nonStrucReference

When working with scripts not standalone app it works ok. So what I am doing wrong?

testWindow.m and driveConfig are attached the problem seems to be following lines in testWindow:

 if (~config.window)
  return;
 end

Many Thanks for any help!

The Executable does not accept the function name as an argument but you can try creating a “main” function where you need to store the output of the “driveconfig” function in a parameter “config” and then pass it to the “testwindow” function.

The “main” function:

function main ()

config=driveconfig;

testwindow(config);

end

Use the following command while compiling the “main” function:

 >>mcc –mv main.m –a testwindow.m –a driveconfig.m
