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
The formulas are taken from commit aae5963a69896021466a037f500aa06bef405be4 of
the homebrew-core repository.
The gcc.rb formula was modified by adding “cellar: :any” to all bottles (see
https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Bottles.md).
The preprocessor has been updated accordingly.
The formulas are taken from commit 2a3ba743401693c5927acc936e27377f123f6d56 of
the homebrew-core repository.
The gcc.rb formula was modified by adding “cellar: :any” to all bottles (see
https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Bottles.md).
The preprocessor has been updated accordingly (and the detection of the GCC
installed by Dynare package has also been fixed).
The current Octave support is utterly broken (both in stable and unstable), it
crashes Octave. It relies on an unofficial Octave app for
macOS (https://octave-app.org), which is infrequently updated.
This commits drop support for Octave in the macOS package. We will now tell our
macOS+octave users to use the Homebrew Dynare package (which is maintained by
the Homebrew team, and is in reasonably good shape).
– 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
In 0c77f7e92f, the supported Octave version has
been changed from the Homebrew binary to the standalone application.
However, the runtime check about the supported Octave version was not updated,
and was still pointing to the Homebrew version number.
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.
* The macOS snapshot until this point did not work unless the user had already installed `libmatio`, `gsl`, and `gcc` via Homebrew.
* We are not modifying `m4/ax_matio.m4` as we want to still be able to compile against shared libraries in development
