Issue with use_dll: "failed to write the updated manifest.."
Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2016 2:52 pmHello all,
I am trying to solve a relatively big model and am using the model(use_dll) option to compile the model equations and derivatives, instead of writing those as .m files. However, I am receiving an error in the process of building the .mex files; in particular:
Here, growthModel.mod is the standard neoclassical growth model and is attached to this post. (I know that use_dll is not necessary for this model, but it is a small working example that creates my issue). I get this problem using both cygwin and msvc compilers. To further complicate the problem, I don't receive this error every time I run dynare, but I can't seem to predict when it will happen! For example, I had thought that possibly the error only comes up after a previous run due to the new mex files interacting with the old ones, but that's not the case. And sometimes dynare will be able to compile the files, but the next time I run the file it will not.
Does anyone have any advice for me? I am a total novice when it comes to compiling code. I briefly googled the problem and found suggestions to disable the anti-virus, but that did not work for me.
Thanks!
