Can you compile a MATLAB Linux exe using the Windows 10 Linux Subsystem? If so, how?

I work on a Windows machine but need to produce Linux executable files. I know that compiling an exe on a Windows machine will give you a Windows exe and compiling a Linux machine will produce a Linux exe, but I was wondering if there is a workaround for this using the Windows 10 Linux Subsystem.

Hello @Francis Vasquez,

To address your needs, I recommend leveraging the MATLAB Coder to transform your MATLAB function into C code. This approach will allow you to generate C code directly from your MATLAB code, facilitating a seamless transition to a compiled application or library that can be further processed with gcc in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

For comprehensive instructions on how to generate C code from your MATLAB code using the MATLAB Coder project interface, please refer to this detailed documentation:

Hope this helps.
