In your build/addons/SVAR directory, what's the value of "topsrc" on the
first line? And in the same directory, what do the first few lines of
pkg.inp look like?
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?
Yes, it shouldn't be. Which brings us back to the thing that puzzled me
some weeks or months ago, why is there only this single dot in the
middle of the part " addons\SVAR\./../../gretl-git ".
thanks
