Hello Da,

I also want to comment on that MS issue. I have been using libgretl for my purposes. I have already developed some codes with using libgretl and i can say that it is not hard on ubuntu. When it comes to IDE issue, i am using eclipse and very comfortable with it. I can try to help you if you want.

Hi Allin,

"I don't own a copy of the Microsoft C compiler, which is an expensive proprietary product".

I hear you Allin, but you're probably wrong on this: Even I always use VS professional or above edition which does require payment, I believe MS does offer VS Express edition which is FREE.

I don't mean to get overly ideological on this, but surely it must be free as in beer, not free as in speech. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre)

Although I very much welcome the interest of experience Win programmers in libgretl, personally I'd rather stick with free software. But I wouldn't diss anybody who doesn't share my qualms.
