Re: [Gretl-users] Building only gretlcli

Hi,
I would like to build the current development version on a Linux server where
I will/can only use the command-line (CLI) version of gretl without any GUI.
Are there any instructions about configure switches or similar on how to
build this CLI subset of gretl? I couldn't find anything apart from the
standard "full-build" instructions (but I haven't looked very thoroughly).
I do not have root access on that server, and I'm not sure if a standard full
build of gretl (including the GUI version) would succeed due to the build
dependencies, but maybe it would. However my preference would be to only
build what's really necessary.
What you'll want is mostly the --disable-gui and --prefix= options to
configure.
However, one important thing for optimum performance is the libraries;
there are several alternatives for the LAPACK flavour, for example. Also,
for optimum performance you'll definitely want to compile gretl with
OpenMP enabled (and possibly mpi too), so be sure to ask your sysadmin to
set up those too.
