error when compiling with mcc and app designer

Hi I am designing an application with app designer in r2019b and i am trying to compile with mcc an m file after pushing a button. However i am retrieving the path for the m file with uigetfile and try to use it with the command mcc -m -I app.pathmatlab app.filematlab but i get the error Error: No source files were specified (-? for help).

I want to give the full path of the source file to mcc.

Can you provide any help on this?

P.S app.pathmatlab and app.filematlab are the folder and filename of the source file .m .

Can you share your app?

Is the command you're trying to execute literally this?

mcc -m -I app.pathmatlab app.filematlab

If the inputs you want to pass into a function are stored in variables, fields of a struct array, cells in a cell array, or properties of an object you're going to need to call that function using function syntax not command syntax.

mcc('-m', '-I', app.pathmatlab, app.filematlab)

What you'd originally written was the equivalent of:

mcc('-m', '-I', 'app.pathmatlab', 'app.filematlab')

and would try to compile the files named app.pathmatlab and app.filematlab, not the files whose names are stored in those properties of the app.

It worked like charm.
