Missing binaries for examples #549

Closed neurologic closed 3 years ago

neurologic commented 3 years ago

System Mac OS Mojave Matlab 2020b

Steps taken to obtain error I followed the quickstart guide at https://xolotl.readthedocs.io/en/master/tutorials/start-here/ On the following step

xolotl.go_to_examples demo_bursting_neuron

I received the error below:

Error

Error using corelib.assert (line 28)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

download >>>> Could not download a pre-complied binary for this model. You will have to
manually compile yourself. You will need a configured C++ compiler for this.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error in xolotl/download (line 42)
    corelib.assert(false,'Could not download a pre-complied binary for this model. You
        will have to manually compile yourself. You will need a configured C++ compiler
        for this.')

Error in demo_bursting_neuron (line 17)
    x.download;

Other steps taken to try to fix I tried running xolotl.cleanup and cpplab.rebuildCache but the error persisted.

Thank you for your time and help!

Hi, I'm moving this to xolotl, where it belongs.

This should work now -- I just uploaded the binary for this example.

In general, xolotl needs a C++ compiler, and The error indicates you don't have a C++ compiler -- is this correct?

If so, please follow these instructions to get a C++ compiler and install it
