Merry post-Christmas to all ;-)
I don't know if anyone has yet tried using the new-ish facility to build
gretl on Windows, but in case anyone's interested the materials at
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/winbuild/
Thanks again for this cross-platform effort. Here's my experience (or
the first part of it) on Windows 7 64bit:
- The file mingw-gretl... is always re-downloaded at every attempt, not
cached. That's not too bad because it isn't very large.
- Apart from a thorough overhaul and update of the MSYS/MinGW
installation I had to add the following packages --apparently not
included in pkglist.txt-- in order to get rid of a "no suitable compiler
found" message:
[pacman -S --needed ....]
base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-fftw
mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk2 mingw-w64-x86_64-gtksourceview2
(because per default gtk3 is there but not gtk2)
Then the setup.sh script said it was satisfied. I had to read carefully
again to understand where I was supposed to execute "make", but now it
is running. Let's see what the result is.
thanks,
sven
