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
- strip the new preprocessor binary
- include the new preprocessor binary in the .zip and .7z archives
- include the old (backward-compatible) preprocessor binary in the .exe installer
– 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
— Reorganize the components: there is now a 64-bit group (with the MEX and
MinGW), and similarly a 32-bit group. That makes it easy to cut down
installation size when the user knows which one to choose. Add a description
text that explains that.
— Dynare++ is no longer installed by default and is listed in the last position
— Remove the “Description” box in the components page, so that the components
names are more visible
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/
The material of this document comes from the introduction to the library that
had been lost in the move away from CWEB (formerly tl/cc/main.web).
This file gives a good overview of the library. It has been adapted from TeX to
LaTeX. Also I fixed a mistake in the Faà di Bruno's tensor formula.
- Use the -static flag when linking Dynare++, so that shipping libquadmath and
libgcc DLL in the installer is no longer needed.
- Use AM_CXXFLAGS and AM_LDFLAGS variables for changing flags, since CXXFLAGS
and LDFLAGS are user variables. Also, this avoids passing these flags down to
configure scripts in subdirectories.
- Check for the SZIP library in the configure test for the MatIO, this is
needed under MSYS2.
- Statically link MatIO and GSL in MEX files for MATLAB, this is needed under
MSYS2.
