{math}[foss/2023b] Dynare v6.0w/ MATLAB 2024b by sassy-crick · Pull Request #19857 · easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs

Requires:

…ynare-6.0-foss-2023b-MATLAB-2023b.eb, Dynare-5.5-foss-2022b-MATLAB-2022b.eb and patches: Dynare-6.0-pthread.patch

sassy-crick · 2024-02-14T20:22:57Z

For the Dynare-6.0 version I provide deliberately two ways of doing it. For MATLAB installations with EasyBuild pre-4.8.1, Dynare-6.0-foss-2023b-MATLAB-2023a_Update_3.eb is working. Anything later, which does not contain the LD_LIBRARIES_PATH in the MATLAB module files any more, the Dynare-6.0-foss-2023b-MATLAB-2023b.eb will work which should be seen as a way forward. Thanks to @boegel and @ocaisa for useful suggestions.
Changing the local_mlver will change the version of MATLAB.

@sassy-crick Looks like a bunch of trailing whitespaces here too

sassy-crick · 2025-06-25T20:59:55Z

How do we address this:

Found 2 variants of 'MATLAB' dependency in easyconfigs using '2022b' toolchain generation
* version: 2022b-r5; versionsuffix:  as dep for {'LIBSVM-MATLAB-3.30-GCCcore-11.3.0-MATLAB-2022b-r5.eb'}
  * version: 2022b; versionsuffix:  as dep for {'Dynare-5.5-foss-2022b-MATLAB-2022b.eb'}

One of them is the r5 release, the other on the initial one.

akesandgren · 2025-06-26T05:08:37Z

Since -r5 is already used as a dependency the easy way out is to use that version in Dynare too, at least for the PR to be merged.
You can of course still use the default MATLAB one locally.

Good idea. I have used the latest version of MATLAB which is merged in EasyBuild for both EasyConfig files. I have moved MATLAB as a dependency, rather than a builddependency, for Dynare-6.0-foss-2023b-MATLAB-2023b.eb. Please have a close look again.
@akesandgren : Do you have MATLAB so you can do an independent build? We currently don't have the 2022 version installed on our cluster but that is a minor problem.

+preconfigopts = 'export MATLABROOT=${EBROOTMATLAB} && module del MATLAB && ml; '


Why this? and you must not use "ml" since there is no guarantee that all module systems actually have that, only module is safe.
In the older version you aren't deleting the MATLAB module, so why here?

You are correct. That was me not understanding something at the time. I have changed that now, thanks for pointing that out.
