[Gretl-devel] Suggestion for Makefile.in and news about my compiling problem

Hi Allin, Jack and other developers :) I have been unable to get CVS gretl running on my Linux for some time now, but recently I have made some progress. I solved the problem of gretl looking for the old library by deleting .gretl directory. Now I have gretl_x11 running, working well all menu entries except when I need to open a file. The program crashes (with Bugzilla window appearing) after loading the file (yes, I can see the variables list and info at shell window). I am sorry to say but I have not tried to open a file in gretlcli. I have messed around by having set main directory other than /usr/local/share/gretl (got report of bad directory). Also solved by deleting .gretl directory. I solved the problem of gretl looking for the old library by deleting .gretl directory. Well, there are some unwarned problems in the compilation process, because to have gretl_x11 compiled I must cd to gui2 and do a make there. The configure script reports all OK. I still have to make buildstamp manually to proceed with compilation. This happens because of plugins requiring build.h. So, my suggestion is to add builstamp before lib at the plugins entry: plugin: buildstamp lib This solved my problem (but since it calls a perl script would it be harmful for Windows/OS X?). Sorry for any incorrections, I am writing by memory. Thanks for your support. Hélio OpenSUSE 11.3 x86_64
