[Gretl-devel] matrix declaration in a pakage

[Ignacio Diaz-Emparanza]

I discovered a fail in Windows packaging that it is solved in Linux:

If you want to use a matrix in a function pakage, the matrix need to be 
declared previously. 

The (very naive) attached function package works without any problem in Linux, 
but it produces an "unespecified error" in Windows. This is solved if, before 
running the package, you go to the gretl console and only write "matrix name" 
which declares the new matrix  "name" that can be used then in the package.

Dear developers, please, could you try to solve this in Windows as well?
