sdtcheck

• path
• patchJavaPath[,set]
• patchMkl[,path,_rt]

Purpose

Installation handling and troubleshooting.

Description

For SDT to run in MATLAB  the path to SDT functions must be added to the MATLAB search path. Additional libraries are also required that sometimes need an explicit declaration in MATLAB. sdtcheck then packages manual input to alter the user MATLAB settings if needed.

Commands

path

This command properly defines the MATLAB search path to run SDT. It has to be used at startup if the search path was not saved in your MATLAB session with SDT installed.

% Initialization of SDT in MATLAB path
pw0=pwd;
cd('path_to_my_sdt')
sdtcheck path
cd(pw0)

patchJavaPath[,set]

SDT GUI utilities are based on Java and require additional Java libraries to be loaded by MATLAB. To ensure proper SDT GUI running the user needs to alter the default MATLAB classpath.txt.

• Command patchJavaPath checks whether the Java classpath contains the libraries needed by SDT. If not a warning will be issued along with an executable link to modify the Java classpath.
• Command patchJavaPathSet generates a custom Java classpath for the user MATLAB configuration to add the libraries required by SDT. Note that you will need to restart MATLAB for the modification to be effective.

patchMkl[,path,_rt]

The new ofact solver based on MKL Pardiso requires additional libraries to run. patchMkl packages its installation.

• patchMkl downloads and installs the libraries.
• patchMklPath verifies the search path and library path.
• patchMkl_rt provides troubleshooting information regarding library installation.
