Where can I find the "mcc_component_data.c" file in a C Shared Library deployed with MATLAB Compiler SDK?

I am deploying MATLAB codes as a C Shared Library. I developed my workflow with MATLAB R2007a, and wrote some C codes that reference one of the files generated by MATLAB: "mcc_component_data.c".

I have now upgraded to MATLAB R2014a. However, I can no longer locate the "mcc_component_data.c" file in the generate C Shared Library files. Is it still possible to generate this file?

The "mcc_component_data.c" file is no longer generated for C Shared Libraries starting with MATLAB R2010b. This file used to contain component-related information for ensuring the library's integrity, decrypting the M file(s), capturing runtime options, and defining the MATLAB search path. This information was never intended to be accessed by the end-user, and has since been distributed among the various other files within the generated CTF archive since MATLAB R2010b.

As a result, the only way to generate this file is to compile a C Shared Library in MATLAB R2010a or an earlier release.
