how can I force Gretl to builld againt GTK3.
I tested with gedit and it works perfectly.

Well, gretl's graphical interface built on "gtk" is also
platform-independent, that's why there is gretl for Windows and on Mac.
But you're right that web technologies are much more widespread, and of
course the difference is especially visible on tablets and smartphones.

I don't really see this as a big advantage over the status quo, but I
agree that in theory it would be nice to be able to use a web browser as
a frontend. Somebody would have to develop this stuff, however, and IMO
it would be a lot of work... Also, if RStudio does this kind of thing
already, well that's great -- why not use that then?

If gretl is built against current GTK 3 it can be run in a browser using
GDK_BACKEND=broadway (you can try this on your own computer, and find
gretl at http://localhost:8080). I'm not sure how this plays out in a real
networking context, but it may be worth exploring.

aha? This sounds very interesting indeed! Dou you have a preferred link
to some docs about this GTK feature? (googling these things usually
turns up a lot of obsolete stuff)

thanks,

There's not a great deal of info out there, but see

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-broadway.html
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/broadwayd.html

These deal with running a GTK 3 app in a browser on your own machine --
amusing, cool but not very useful. What I don't yet understand is how this
might translate to serving an application such as gretl to people on other
machines, as a "web app".
