Following the gretl 2020a release, I've put up a variant package for
macOS (>= 10.6) at
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl-quartz.pkg
(note: it's not on sourceforge at this point). This version
announces itself as 2020b-git but its content is exactly the same as
2020a. Only the initialization is changed to make it more compatible
with Apple's new security model.
Old scheme:
Clicking on the Gretl.app icon invokes a bash script
/Applications/Gretl.app/Contents/MacOS/gretl.sh which sets up the
environment and calls "real gretl" at
/Applications/Gretl.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gretl
New scheme:
Clicking on the Gretl.app icon invokes "real gretl" at
/Applications/Gretl.app/Contents/MacOS/gretl, with the environment
setup now internalized in C code.
Under the new scheme, if you wish to start gretl from a Terminal
window you should invoke
/Applications/Gretl.app/Contents/MacOS/gretl.
