2:36 p.m.
Finally, I have succeeded in building gretl on windows xp:
The culprit was lines 199 and 200 in mkwindist. The file endings had to be
changed to .gz. Then, running gretlw32 in c:\gretl\win32\windist\gretl
starts the program without problems. However, the graphs does not work.
Running the gretl_install.exe file from c:\gretl\win32\windist\output
installs a fully working copy of gretl, with the graphs working. Great!

Sorry, I got it wrong in the previous message: It was "make
dist" the
produced the files in c:\gretl\win32\windist\gretl.
