How to build a shared object (.so) from Windows Matlab/Simulink?

I have a clear goal and clear limitations. I need to produce a shared object (.so) file that will run on the NI Labview Linux RTOS from a Simulink model created on a Windows Matlab installation. I understand this will require cross-compilation.

I am aware that NI has a suggested workflow (NI Linux Real-Time Documentation and Tutorials — nilrt-docs 1.0 documentation) however I cannot use this method due to IT restrictions on installations needed in that workflow. I am aware that Matlab has a Linux version that would produce shared objects but our IT has failed to get a Linux Matlab to work.

I am at a loss as to what can be done to achieve this goal. How can I produce a shared object for Linux from my Windows Simulink model?

Hi, Alex

This article might be helpful.

You can try this, then in step 4, instead compiling for binary, you can try to create a object file and convert that into shared lib on linux.

If you have Embedded Coder, you might try this:

Generate Shared Library for Export to External Code Base - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com).

Thank you for the response! I'll look these over and see what I can manage.
