— This is consistent with the fact that we hardcode the old MATLAB version
— This ensures better homogeneity across runners (in theory, it could be
possible that different runners have different “matlab” symlinks)
— This allows easier customization in personal repositories
The copy of MathJax that we were embedding was not source code, because it
contained minified Javascript. In particular, this is a problem for the
official Debian package.
We now strip the copy. Users compiling the HTML manual from the source tarball
will therefore get MathJax from a CDN (this is the default behaviour of
Sphinx).
It is not possible to use --disable-matlab and --disable-octave, because
otherwise `make dist` does not properly recurse.
By the way, factorize the computation of the path and version of the default
MATLAB installation.
In particular, if either MATLAB or Octave is missing, one needs to pass either
--disable-matlab or --disable-octave.
Moreover, several new configure flags have been introduced for disabling some
components:
--disable-doc
--disable-dynare++
--disable-mex-dynare++
--disable-mex-ms-sbvar
--disable-mex-kalman-steady-state
This is not strictly needed since currently there is no submodule within a
submodule in Dynare. However, this is useful for the Enterprise
version (dseries has a matlab-fame-io submodule there). Moreover, this will
prevent bad surprises in the future should we introduce such a 2nd-level
submodule.
They're no longer needed now that the date is part of the snapshot filename.
Also, updating them from the CI was creating a discrepancy with the snapshots
listed on the website (until the latter was rebuilt).
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/
