How do I include a specific .dll for the Image Acquisition Toolbox when compiling with Matlab compiler?

A Little Backstory.. I am trying to develop an app using guide to take pictures. I need to put this on several devices, without installing Matlab on them if possible. The issue I have encountered is that I do not know how to include the pixelinkimaq.dll with the package application.

When using pixelinkimaq.dll you must first register it.

imaqregister(['C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2016b\toolbox\imaq\imaqadaptors\pixelinkimaq.dll'])

The adapter registers fine and it is completely workable out of Matlab.

Though, it does not tag along so to speak when compiling.

I was hoping someone could help me out

Thanks.

You can add the .dll to the 'mcc' command with the -a flag. Also in the matlab code you will have to modify the location relative to the ctfroot. Here is an example that can be used as a reference.

imaqregister(fullfile(ctfroot,mfilename,'filename.dll'));

Also if you are using 'deploytool' to create the standalone you can add the dll in the files required for your application to run section. Here is a link that talks more about path management in deployed applciations.

I hope this helps.
