Thanks for the practical information. Indeed I have a Raspberry Pi 3 (or
3+?) lying around which hasn't seen any use yet. Maybe something for the
coming Winter months...
Do I understand correctly that you did a standard build including the
graphical GUI version?
Yes, I followed the instructions in the User's Guide. No package gcc-doc
was
on the repository - I don't think that this is a problem. For
pkgconfig I installed pkg-config. I installed any of the missing -dev
packages listed in the guide (libgtk-3-dev for libgtk3.0-dev) and added
libjson-glib-dev and gtksourceview-3.0 - the last two appear to be required
but are not pleted mentioned in the guide. The download from git and the
sequence of configure, make, and make install com[pleted exactly as in the
guide (sudo ldconfig was required before gretl would run). The GUI looks
very like the Linux (Mint 19.2) or indeed the Windows 10 version.
Is there a test program that is used to test the compilation? If so I
might try it on this ARM version
cheers
