Managing Dependencies when Compiling Code in Linux

I am trying to compile a Matlab code in Red Hat. The code consists of 2 .m files, where one of them is the main one (mainfile.m - used to be a script, but had to convert to a function) and the other is a data import function (datafunction.m), which uses SQL to pull data from the database.

To create an executable file I used the following command:

/usr/local/bin/mcc -mv mainfile.m

datafunction.m is also located in the same folder. I assumed that the Compiler would automatically find dependencies between mainfile.m and datafunction.m.

However when I try to run the resulting run_mainfile.sh using a runtime library:

./run_FILENAME /usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Runtime/v93

it fails at the point when it has to execute the datafunction.m.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Try this:

/usr/local/bin/mcc -m mainfile.m -a /usr/local/dir_to_your_m_files

the -a [folder or file name] option will forcibly add the dependencies.

It is indeed odd the dependency checker failed to add the datafunction.m automatically. You could check with the dependency checkers to see if mainfile.m does list datafunction.m on the list.

Thanks. This did solve the problem.
