The changes in 8065e9d439 were not working as
intended, because AC_CHECK_PROG expect values and not actions. Hence
AC_MSG_ERROR was not properly executed.
By the way, simplify some test conditions using && instead of if/then/fi
blocks.
- new include_eqs and exclude_eqs command-line options
- new “forecast” option to “shock_decomposition”
- remove the “linear” option of “stoch_simul”
- forbid exogenous and exogenous deterministic variables in STEADY_STATE
operator (#825)
The logic of the dynSparseMatrix::Sparse_substract_SA_SB() routine was
incorrect.
In some cases, it would read past the last nonzero elements of the A matrix,
and consequently write past the number of allocated nonzero elements of the C
matrix.
This would lead to crashes and, probably, to wrong results under certain
circumstances.
Closes: #1652
It’s not clear that such utilities are useful (people should rather update
their MATLAB). It’s also a lot of work, and it’s probably better to focus on
documenting the incompatibilities.
Closes: #915
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
The installation of Homebrew + GCC necessitates Xcode Command Line Tools, which will be installed if it is not present.
The installation of Homebrew + GCC is optional and can be deselected by the user.
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.
The detection of the slicot library failed because xerbla has been moved out of
the BLAS implementation shipped with Octave (probably since 5.1.0). This commit
fixes our fake implementation of mkoctfile so that it returns -lxerbla after
-lblas (as is done in the official Windows package for Octave).
Since 533a4ff7db, several MEX files were missing
in the Windows package (gensylv, k-order, dynare_simul, MS-SBVAR). The problem
was that the environment variable containing the directory containing MSYS2
libraries (incl. matio and gsl) was not correctly passed to parallelized
subshells.
