Re: [Gretl-users] New build of gretl for OS X

On Fri, 1 May 2009, Berend Hasselman wrote: I have added a new target to the top-level gretl Makefile, "osx-dist". This calls "make -C osx postinst" which does three things: 1. Deletes some extraneous files that we assume will not be wanted in the disk image (such as headers and libtool .la files). 2. Replaces the regular "gretl" script with an OS X-special version. 3. Runs osx/fixlinks.sh, which is a script to fix the install names of executables and libraries. This is based on your script. There's one remaining issue with osx/fixlinks.sh -- the path that will be present in "auxiliary" libs such as libgmp and libmpfr. This is given by the variable AUXPATH="/usr/local/lib" and this will have to be changed manually if it's not right. I've also added a configure option, "--disable-gnuplot-checks". You can use this if you're confident that gnuplot is in fact OK but there might be some problem with determining this at build time. For the dmg, I'm now building CVS gnuplot 4.3 using the GTK+ framework to enable the pngcairo and pdfcairo terminals (and thus cutting out dependencies on libgd and libpdf). I've put an archive of the source I'm using at http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/osxbuild/gnuplot-20090503.tar.gz Allin.
