Missing meson.build for Dynare 6.0

Installation and Setup
1

Hi,

I tried to compile Dynare 6.0 on my Fedora Silverblue 39, and the meson build system suggests meson.build under preprocessor/src is missing. I have successfully compiled 5.5 and it works perfectly. I am wondering if there is something missing or am I doing something wrong?

FYI here is the terminal output

The file preprocessor/src/meson.build is present in the source tarball, and also in the git repository (provided that you correctly setup git submodules). Where did you get the Dynare source from?

Also note that you’re apparently trying to compile the unstable snapshot (the version number is 7-unstable), and not version 6.0.

You should rather try with the source tarball for Dynare 6.0: https://www.dynare.org/release/source/dynare-6.0.tar.xz

Thanks for the help, I have successfully compiled Dynare 6.0 using the sourced tarball.
