I am writing an application that utilizes the ADDPATH function, thus adding a directory to the MATLAB search path. When I run this application in MATLAB, it responds consistently. However, when I compile this application, the compiled version does not seem to recognize that the path has been added.

In general, a compiled application should avoid MATLAB commands that directly access or modify MATLAB's internal paths, i.e. the MATLAB path and the MATLAB Java class path. These functions are: ADDPATH, CD, JAVAADDPATH, JAVACLASSPATH, JAVARMPATH, PATH, RMPATH, SAVEPATH.
