[Gretl-users] Problems in building gretl on ubuntu system

Dear all, I am working at a research institute in Germany and I would like to realize a project by means of gretl. At the beginning I have to admit that I hopefully have quite detailled knowledge about time series in theory but I am not really a linux expert. So I apologize for some inaccuracies in advance. The good news is that my collegue is a computer scientist and can assist me quite well. We are looking for a straight-forward method to be able: - to call gretl routines by c/c++ function or member calls (instead of using interactive scripts), - writing and reading to/from the according data structures at c/c++ level, - compiling all that stuff by gcc under linux. Since we know that gretl itself is a lib written in c or c++ that should be possible. Finally my collegue and me will realize the software on a RaspberryPi 4. At the moment we realize our trials on a virtual machine using VirtualBox (Ubuntu 64bit). Similar to the situation reported HERE ... https://www.mail-archive.com/gretl-users@gretlml.univpm.it/msg11637.html ... we are (despite all our efforts) not able to compile a c/c++ - program using the gretl-library. From the topic point of view the nearest discussion in the gretl users mailing list is the issue reported by Ignacio Diaz-Emparanza: https://gretlml.univpm.it/hyperkitty/list/gretl-users@gretlml.univpm.it/m... We on our side tried to compile and link our code similar to the following scheme: cc -g -O2 -Wall -I/usr/local/include \ -I/usr/include/libxml2 \ -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 \ -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include \ -DPREFIX=\"/usr/local\" -fopenmp \ simple_client.c -o simple_client -L/usr/local/lib \ -lgretl-1.0 -lm -lxml2 -lfftw3 -lglib-2.0 -lglib We got an error message: glib.h was not found! We couldn't fix that problem even though we updated glib by "sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev". So my questions would be as follows: 1. Is there a quite detailled description on the method of the things we want to do (particularly in ubuntu systems and/or for Raspberry Pi 4)? 2. Even more helpful: is there anyone who might help us directly? Any remarks would be helpful. Thank you in advance. Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Best regards Dipl.-Math.
