Incidentally, no longer run Dynare++ unit tests, since they are intricated in
the Dynare++ build system. If we finally decide not to drop the Dynare++
codebase for our MEX files, then we should probably find a way to build and run
them again.
Ref. #1825
– preprocessor binary renamed to dynare-preprocessor
— the preprocessor binary is now installed under a preprocessor/ top-level directory
— a backward-compatibility symlink is still provided under
matlab/preprocessor64/dynare_m
— the make install rule now install PDF and HTML documentation when those have
been built
Closes: #1728
I’m not sure it has ever worked.
As a consequence, remove the workaround that had apparently been implemented in
tests/initval_file/ramst_initval_file.mod.
This MEX solves nonlinear systems of equations using a trust region algorithm.
The problem is subdivided in smaller problems by doing a block
triangularisation of the Jacobian at the guess value, using the
Dulmage-Mendelsohn algorithm.
The interface of the MEX is simply:
[x, info] = block_trust_region(f, guess_value);
Where f is either a function handle or a string designating a function.
f must take one argument (the evaluation point), and return either one or two
arguments (the residuals and, optionally, the Jacobian).
On success, info=0; on failure, info=1.
Those archives contain 3 hidden files, which always have the same name. This
can make the parallel build fail when several packages are unpacked at the same
time. Hence, we just skip these files when unpacking.
The scripts are based the former “dynare-build” project. They have been
overhauled and simplified.
Building a Windows package (both installer and zip archive) is as easy as
running “make -C windows” (provided the right Debian packages are installed,
use the “windows/install-packages.sh” script for that purpose).
The layout of MEX files for Octave in the package has been
changed (mex/octave/win32/ and mex/octave/win64/ instead of mex/octave32/ and
mex/octave/), for consistency with MATLAB MEX.
- integrate with autoconf/automake, so that "make html pdf" now build the
manual
- remove the old texinfo manual
- the PDF manual is now called dynare-manual.pdf (Closes#1543)
- add a Gitlab CI job that updates the online unstable manual under
www.dynare.org/manual-unstable/
