(took me a while to realize that "TSA" means tsa package. OK I'm a bit hazy
today :-)  )

Well what happens when I try it with a 3.8.1 that otherwise is fully
functional is this:

====================================================
>> pkg install -verbose -noauto tsa-4.2.7.tar.gz
mkdir (C:\Users\Philip\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-2)
untar (tsa-4.2.7.tar.gz, C:\Users\Philip\AppData\Local\Temp\oct-2)
ls: /usr/local/MATLAB: No such file or directory
ls: /usr/local/MATLAB/R*: No such file or directory

make: Leaving directory `/tmp/oct-2/tsa/src'

warning: function C:\Octave\Octave-3.8.1\share\octave\packages\tsa-4.2.7\
detrend.m shadows a core library function
>> 
====================================================

... and tsa shows up in "pkg list".


Trying the demos:
>> tsademo
warning: load: file found in load path
....... (demos work fine)
>> invfdemo
warning: load: file found in load path
>> bisdemo
warning: load: file found in load path

(hmm just cosmetic warning I suppose)

So I'll gladly swallow that recommendation in my previous post - tsa is OK.

Did you fix something with the libopenblas.dll so that tsa installation does
pick it up now?

In mxe, if compiling with openblas enabled, it simply creates the openblas
library - it doesn't link against it (as it originally was)
The user who wants to use openblas needs to copy libopenblas.dll to
libblas.dll to use it. (The installer does with as an install option if
openblas was enabled)
