I've mentioned this a few times before: a build of gretl for OS X
that does not require X11/XQuartz. Now, it seems to me, is the time.
There's an experimental package (dmg) named gretl-quartz.dmg in
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/osx-testing/
This is an all-in-one package: no need for X11, and no need for a
separate GTK framework. The dmg includes gretl 1.9.12cvs and a
Mac-native build of GTK 2.24.17 and friends.
This is really amazing!
Caveats:
(1) This is a 64-bit intel-only build for OS X 10.6 and higher.
(2) Gtk-quartz uses Apple's CoreText apparatus rather than FreeType
plus fontconfig, and the default font sizes in the two systems seem
to differ, such that the font specification appropriate to the X11
version of GTK produces a small, spindly font under quartz. Your
mileage may vary, but I have found that the following settings
(under gretl's /Tools/Preferences) produce an acceptable look:
"Menu font": Geneva 12- or 13-point
"Fixed font": Menlo 12-point
Testing on my new MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display it looks better to
use 14-point.
It would be good if people could test this. I've played around a
little, found a few problems and fixed them, but I haven't tested
very intensively yet.
In a first test I found some (small problems):
(1) There is no file association
Double-click .inp or .gretl files doesn't open the script or sessions files.
(2) It is not possible to open my scripts
When I try to open a script using the menu (File > Script files > User file...)
I get the following warning: "Invalid byte sequence in conversion input /Users\
/henrique/Box Documents/Projetos/Artigos/Economia da Saúde/Medicamentos\
DF/Medicamentos DF.inp: Illegal byte sequence".
(3) Gnuplot is not launched
It is not possible to launch Gnuplot using "Tools > Gnuplot". Gretl shows this
message: "Couldn't find a usable terminal program".
