[Gretl-users] building gretl on MacOS

This post is a further response to the thread started by Henrique Andrade in November of last year, in http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-users/2016-November/012194.html I'm afraid that remained unresolved at the time, but I can now report that I've made several small changes to the gretl configuration and build files which should make things smoother. More substantially, there's new material at https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/osx-testing/ that should be helpful: apparatus to build gretl using just Apple's Xcode Command Line Tools plus a new "gretl-dev" framework, available as a dmg file. This method does not require a third-party package manager such as MacPorts or Homebrew. The full story is in gretl-osx-howto.pdf at the above location. This document also gives a recipe for building gnuplot for use with gretl on MacOS, and even describes how to build the gretl-dev framework yourself (with the help of some shell scripts) in case anyone is feeling adventurous.
