Thanks Sebastien. This will be very useful. However, I see a potential
problem with including MINGW with Dynare. Institutions with security
issues may not want to install MINGW. There is also a specific issue
with the signature of the package. I don't remember if it covers only
the binary of the preprossor or the entire package.
The easiest solution would be to keep distributing a minimal package
without MINGW.
Yes, we are aware of this problem. It is already possible not to install MinGW by unselecting it. But indeed we will probably have to distribute a minimal package if this is not deemed sufficient by institutions with strict policies.
The signature should not be a problem, because it is created on the whole installer, and not on specific binaries within it.
Best,
