I guess the ARM hardware (CPU) platform has evolved quite a bit recently, or else I don't understand how this would be possible. Maybe this is also relevant (in the background): http://www.netlib.org/utk/people/JackDongarra/WEB-PAGES/Batched-BLAS-2017... thanks sven

Can I report that all the packages required to build gretl on a Raspberry Pi are available on the Raspbrian repository? I compiled the git version of gretl (2019d of 2019-09-30) on a Raspberry Pi 2. . (gcc-doc was not available but configure finished without it.) Make was slow (> 1 hour). Once installed, gretl loads fast and the responses to the few examples that I ran were also good. Thus all the mathematical and other libraries required to compile gretl on ARM 7 are available in the Rasbrian repository. The current Pi 4 should be much faster.

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 John C Frain

Perhaps it was your phone asking you, "Why would you want to do something that stupid? Why isn't it enough to use it on your laptop instead?" You know, *that* sort of thing...

Happily confirm that this works perfectly out of the box! :) Thanks a lot, John!!! Maybe this should be posted somewhere on the official web page? I clearly understand that it is more convenient to work from a computer :) Some of my students just use android pad every day (for note taking etc). And the information about userland approach on the official web page will give a good opportunity for people who prefer tablets!

Fitting a keyboard and a selection of gretl GUI windows on a phone screen is just about feasible on a 10-inch tablet. I would not recommend using the gretl GUI on a phone.
