Make command

Description

Specify a make command and optionally append makefile options.

Note

This parameter only appears when the model is configured to use a template makefile-based code generation target, as described in Choose Build Approach and Configure Build Process.

Category: Code Generation

Settings

Default: make_rtw

An internal MATLAB® command used by code generation software to control the build process. The specified make command is invoked when you start a build.

  • Each target has an associated make command, automatically supplied when you select a target file using the System Target File Browser.

  • Some third-party targets supply a make command. See the vendor's documentation.

  • You can supply makefile options in the Make command field. The options are passed to the command-line invocation of the make utility, which adds them to the overall flags passed to the compiler. Append the options after the make command, as in the following example:

    make_rtw OPTS="-DMYDEFINE=1"

    The syntax for makefile options differs slightly for different compilers.

Tip

  • Most targets use the default command.

  • You should not invoke make_rtw or other internal make commands directly from MATLAB code. To initiate a model build from MATLAB code, use documented build commands such as slbuild or rtwbuild.

Dependency

This parameter is enabled by Generate makefile.
