Dear All

Is it possible in Mathematica to generate a stand-alone code that
doesn't require Mathematica to exist for execution. I have done this
in Fortran and wondering if this exists in Mathematica.

Your help is appreciated.

Regards,

HMQ

Using a Mathematica player, one does not need Mathematica itself to run
the code.

Check WRI web site for more details on how to convert your code to run
in a player :

http://www.wolfram.com/products/player/

"Rather than just a reader, like Acrobat Reader, or a thin runtime, like
Flash Player, Mathematica Player has the full Mathematica engine
embedded right there--ready to make documents come alive or to power
applets. (Of course, don't forget it can read notebooks too!) "


If you mean to actually compile Mathematica code and generate a .EXE,
then no. There is no such compiler for Mathematica.

The answer greatly depends on precisely what it is you want to
do. There are a couple of options.

First, there is the Mathematica Player that will run Mathematica
code without an installation of Mathematica. For details see
Wolfram's web site.

The other option would be export expressions as either CForm or
FortranForm and use the appropriate compiler to create a stand
alone executable. But be aware what can be done in this manner
is limited. Expressions consisting of operations that have a
direct analog in either C or Fortran can be exported in a form
suitable for an external compiler. But specialized functions,
such as say Integrate cannot be exported in a form useful to an
external compiler.

Mathematica function CForm[] will generate C code, but there are restrictions.
Specifically, CForm will not expand built-in functions like FindRoot. But I
have used CForm to generate the blob of code needed to perform vector and matrix
computations in embedded processors too small and too odd for Mathematica
to run on, and/or where Mathematica is itself far too slow.

The real reason to use CForm here was to cut down on coding errors in a messy
bit of coordinate-transform code.

Joe:

It would be really cool if you could write a simple tutorial and share
it in the Wolfram Library. I too have wondered how CForm[] might fit
into Mathematica development workflow and it sounds like your experience could
be a valuable resource to learn from.
