OK, first just to be sure, you apparently want to build gretl from git
yourself, or you don't need any of the build-dep stuff.
In fact, I think you do: the "source" repo contains all the -dev versions
of the packages we link against (GTKSourceView, for example). The command
apt-get build-dep gretl
is a quick way of installing all the things that a debian-based distro
needss to build the gretl .deb package.
