Why do I get a "could not find MATLAB function" error message when creating a shared library using MATLAB Compiler 4.11 (R2009b)?

All the MATLAB functions which are used to create a shared library are in the path below:

 C:\matlabFiles\@matlabFiles

I compile the MATLAB files in the path above to create a C++ shared library with the command below:

mcc -W cpplib:libmatrixp -T link:lib addmatrix.m multiplymatrix.m eigmatrix.m -v

Issuing the above command on MATLAB command prompt gives the following error message:

 Compiler version: 4.11 (R2009b)

 Could not find the MATLAB function 'addmatrix.m' on the MATLAB path.

The error is encountered because of the directory structure in which the MATLAB functions reside. To resolve the issue, copy all the MATLAB functions that need to be compiled to a directory structure that does not have a name starting with the '@' character.
