Matlab's practice of substituting an "8 byte integer" BLAS/LAPACK
library for the "4 byte integer" BLAS/LAPACK libraries that Cantera is
designed to use causes Cantera to crash. This can only be avoided by
statically linking Cantera to BLAS and LAPACK, e.g. by using the
BLAS/LAPACK implementations included with Cantera.
Since the Matlab toolbox itself needs to be a shared library, it is
not usually possible to link statically link it with vendor-provided
BLAS/LAPACK libraries, since they are not compiled with the
appropriate options, i.e. '-fPIC'.
Resolves Issue 34.
Took out single_species compilation option
took out some deprecated warnings
Fixed an error in copy constructors for thermo.
Still an error with PYTHONPATH and the test suite
-- more to come.
The set of Boost libraries which are required by Cantera, through the use of
Boost.Thread, depends on the Boost version. The static libraries are needed
when compiling anything that links to Cantera, so these libraries are copied
to the Cantera installation directory on Windows, where compiling Boost from
source is a burden.
This fixes an issue when the Python interpreter prints startup messages that
appear before the expected output lines. Known to be a problem with the Anaconda
Python distribution.
In particular, this fixes paths for Linux distros that put Python modules in
'lib64/pythonX.Y/site-packages'.
Also fixes the reported installation path for the Python module on Windows.
Virtualenv substitutes an old version of site.py that may not have the
getusersitepackages function. However, it appears that USER_SITE is set
correctly in these cases.
This macro was not a reliable way of marking deprecated features. Future
deprecation warnings will be issued at runtime using the warn_deprecated
function.
Setting the scons options 'python_prefix=USER' or 'python3_prefix=USER' will
pass the '--user' flag to setup.py, causing the Python module to be installed to
a platform-specific directory on the user's module path.
This includes automatic conversion of the samples from Python 3 syntax to Python
2 syntax when building the Python 2 version of the module and the "3to2" script
is available.
