Dear Allin,
After

I get:
<output>

/Users/henrique/Documents/Desenvolvimento/build/share/applications
make[1]: gretl.desktop: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [sh-install] Error 1

It's a new error, so I'm feeling we are almost there :-)
gretl.desktop is supposed to be generated by the configure script.
It should be in the xdg subdirectory of your build directory. As
part of the output from running configure there should be a line:
configure: creating ./config.status
followed by several lines of the form
config.status: creating <output-file>
and one of these should read
config.status: creating xdg/gretl.desktop
You could try cd'ing into the xdg subdirectory and running
make -n install
and see what this prints.
