Hello all,
This message is really only relevant for folks who are compiling
gretl themselves, so maybe more appropriate to the "devel" list. But
since there may be some people in that category on the users list
but not the devel list, I'll post here.
So, if you're building gretl from source: after a "git pull" with
today's updates, please be sure to do "make clean" followed by a
"configure" run before doing "make" again. That's because I have
renamed/moved a bunch of files lately -- something that was very
awkward to do under CVS (our old version control system) but quite
easy under git, and which was overdue.
Specifics:
1) I've renamed the "gui2" directory as "gui". The
"gui2" name
derived from ancient days when I ported gretl's GUI from gtk 1.2 to
gtk 2.
2) The Ramanathan textbook datafiles were at one time the only data
packaged with gretl. As of now they don't have a special status, so
I've moved them into their own subdirectory. (Though I'm still very
grateful to Ramu Ramanathan for helping gretl to get started.)
The repositioning of data files means that some files that were
installed previously should now be deleted. Here's a listing (where
$prefix is the installation prefix you selected for gretl, by
default /usr/local):
$prefix/share/gretl/data/*.gdt
$prefix/share/gretl/data/descriptions
$prefix/share/gretl/data/greene/wg_descriptions
If anyone comes across build or runtime errors associated with this
rename/move please let me know and we'll fix them asap.
