Embedded Coder generated .zip file problem

Hello,

When i generated code with Embedded Coder, generated zip file has a folder named R2018b.

This folder includes 3 folders(extern, rtw and simulink).

Inside these folders, they are some header files.

I noticed that these header files are in the following matlabroots.

MATLABROOT\simulink\include

MATLABROOT\rtw\c\src

MATLABROOT\extern\include

Why these header files are added to the generated zip file? I don't need those header files.

Thanks for help.

The feature to generate a .zip package is in fact using the command 'packngo'. You could investigate that command in more detail. Maybe you should check the answer to this question: https://nl.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/452312-package-generated-code-with-the-minimal-set-of-files-necessary-for-compilation-using-packngo

These header files contain various type definitions, macros, constants and functions that are used by the generated C/C++ code. In your model, they may be unused, but if you use Embedded Coder on a more complicated example (using various blocks and algorithms) you will see the generated code becomes more complicated and starts using those header files.
