Using Application Compiler for app including rtwbuild()

I would like to use the Application Compiler (Appdesigner -->Standalone Desktop App) on my MATLAB app. This app calls a .m file which is using the rtwbuild command to deploy a Simulink model to an arduino. The app works well when run in MATLAB, however after compilation I receive an error with rtwbuild:

Error using rtwbuild

The Matlab Path must have these directories for Simulink to function:

toolbox/simulink/blocks, toolbox/simulink/simulink

Matlab cannot continue. Please restore the path and restart Matlab.

The documentation says, that no Simulink functions are supported for the MATLAB Compiler (see here) and the rtwbuild function seems to be a Simulink function, since it is in the documentation in the category "Simulink Coder" (see here). However, I do not have the Simulink Coder Toolbox and the app was running in MATLAB, so I am not sure if rtwbuild is Simulink function.

To keep it short, my question is the following:

"Is it possible to use the Application Compiler on .m scripts including the rtwbuild command?"

Thank your for you help!

Hey Cichx

I'm having the same problem, did you ever find a solution to this?

Thanks

rtwbuild() is a Simulink Coder function. Simulink Coder is not supported by our compiler products as per:

https://www.mathworks.com/products/compiler/compiler_support.html

While it is not possible to build Simulink models with our compiler products and deploy them to hardware at this time, our MATLAB support package for Arduino does support deployment. See the "Create Standalone Applications for Arduino Hardware" page:
