In the makefile in /SVAR: topsrc = ../../../gretl-git (which seems right) and in pkg.inp: string topsrc = "../../../gretl-git" string dtd = topsrc ~ "/share/functions/gretlfunc.dtd" string pkgdir = topsrc ~ "/addons/SVAR" (also look OK to me) > If I'm normalizing the funny-looking path above correctly, it resolves to > > C:/msys64/home/fantomas/src/build/gretl-git/addons/SVAR/SVAR_boot.inp > > which looks wrong: "build" shouldn't be in there?
