GTK3 based gretl on Wayland
by Marcin Błażejowski
Hi,
I've been using GTK3 based gretl for years - without any problems.
Recently, I decided to move from the very old X11 graphics to Wayland
and I encountered the following two problems:
1. Drag-and-drop actions don't work (neither for scripts nor data).
2. Clipboard is one-directional: I can copy raw text from the operating
system to gretl, but I cannot copy enything from gretl to operating
system (scripts, results).
I checked GTK2 and everything is ok. I'm using current git version.

Which function/source file?
by Marcin Błażejowski
Hi,
which function may produce an error: "bundle_print_function: bundle name
is empty string"? I tried to find it in all source tree but I can't
figure out in which file it is coded.

Search in function package listing (GUI)
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
I'm noticing that the search text box in the function package window
apparently only looks at the packages' names, not at the author names
nor at the summaries. This is not obvious, and also --IMHO-- not optimal.
thanks

use of getenv() in the gretl source code
by Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti
Hi all,
due to a recent discussion in the user list
https://gretlml.univpm.it/hyperkitty/list/gretl-users@gretlml.univpm.it/t...
Allin and I have begun coding a slight modification to the --robust option
to ols that enables the usage of that option with "gappy" time series
data.
A few minutes ago, I pushed a commit to the git master branch that makes
the new behaviour conditional on the existence of an environment variable
named "HAC_ALLOW_MISSING". This is a technique we've been using quite
often to test new things.
In fact, maybe _too_ often. The combined powers of grep and sed allowed me
to compile a list of all the environment variables that play a role of
some kind; although some are perfectly legitimate (eg HOME, LANG), some
are clearly there because of experiments we did in the past. I guess we
ought to clean up at least some of them.
Of course, Allin and I could see to this without bothering the community,
but this may be a good opportunity for aspiring developers to take a peek
at the source code and see what's in there, so ideas and contributions
from the community are very welcome.
The list is:
ARELLANO_ASY
CLI_NO_PLOTS
DFGLS_NO_PVALUE
FORCE_GFN_PATH
GMM_NORMALIZE_2
GRETL_CONFIG_FILE
GRETL_FORCE_SEED
GRETL_HOME
GRETL_INCLUDE_PATH
GRETL_MATRIX_DEBUG
GRETL_MATRIX_PRINT6
GRETL_MP_BITS
GRETL_MPI_HOSTS
GRETL_NO_RLIB
GRETL_OLD_EV
GRETL_PLUGIN_PATH
GRETL_PNG_GRAPH_FONT
GRETL_REAL_SVD
GRETL_USE_OPENMP
GRETL_WORKDIR
GRETL_WWW_VERBOSE
HAC_ALLOW_MISSING
H_EXTRA
HOME
IMPORT_DEBUG
JSONGETB_OLD
KALMAN_DEBUG
KALMAN_DEJONG
KALMAN_EXACT
KALMAN_TRACE
KALMAN_UNIVAR
LANG
MINGW_PREFIX
OMP_NUM_THREADS
PATH
REPLACE_NAIVE
REPLACE_USE_BTREE
R_HOME
SHELL
SHELLDEBUG
VAR_USE_QR
Have fun!

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: contributed package DP: problem in Windows GUI (and a crash along the way)

Thanks for checking, Peter. When I restart gretl, first I don't get a
crash on entering "pkg install DP.gfn", either. However, when I have
both the local package listing window and the window with the server
listing open, then typing the command leads to a reproducible crash.

contributed package DP: problem in Windows GUI (and a crash along the way)
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
with gretl 2022c (don't know about other versions) I cannot get the
package "DP" by Uriel Rodríguez Ramírez to show up in the package list
window for the local machine. It is shown in the window for the packages
on the server, and "include DP.gfn" also works OK (and says that the
package lives in $dotdir/functions/ alright).
Asking gretl to install the package via the GUI didn't change anything,
and I just tried on the console "pkg install DP.gfn" which led to gretl
crashing (on Windows 10) -- OK, apparently this together with the .gfn
extension is the wrong command format, so this is a separate issue.
'pkg install DP' on the console returns a success message, but in the
package list window there's still no DP.
Thanks
