Gretl uses GNU autoconf. Here's the quick way to get going:
./configure
make
make check
make install
* You may want to do "./configure --help" first to see what options are
available.
* By default the installation goes under /usr/local. To install
elsewhere use "./configure --prefix=/your/prefix". See also the
notes on gnome below.
* On systems where GNU make is not the default you may need to use the
"--with-gmake" option to ./configure.
* See below the "Dependencies" section for discussion of further
configure options.
Dependencies: gretl relies on various libraries and auxiliary
programs, as follows:
Package gretl status functionality
===============================================================
gtk required provides the gretl GUI
xml required open and save data files in the
default format
gnuplot required generate graphs
lapack required linear algebra operations
gdk-pixbuf required handle graphs in PNG format; make
gnuplot graphs interactive
libpng optional enhance gretl's ability to work
with PNG graphs created by gnuplot
readline optional provides a nice editable command line
in gretlcli, the command-line program
gnome optional gretl is integrated into the gnome
desktop (file icons and associations,
help system and so on)
GMP optional supports gretl's Multiple Precision OLS
plugin
gtksourceview optional syntax highlighting for gretl scripts
=================================================================
Notes:
* By default gretl attempts to build against the gtk 2.0
libraries. If you want to prevent this (i.e., if you have gtk 2.0
installed but would prefer to build gretl using the traditional gtk
1.2) specify the option "--without-gtk2". This slightly reduces
gretl's functionality.
* When gretl is built against gtk 1.2, it looks for an installed
version of libole2 to link against; if you want to prevent this,
specify the option "--without-libole2". Then gretl will use the
subset of libole2 code supplied in the source package. This does
not reduce gretl's functionality.
* When gretl is built against gtk 1.2, it looks for an installed
version of libgtkextra to link against; if you want to prevent this,
specify the option "--without-gtkextra". Then gretl will use the
subset of gtkextra code supplied in the source package. Again, this
does not reduce gretl's functionality.
* The gretl configure script looks for the gnome desktop, and arranges
for gretl to be built with gnome support if gnome is found on your
system. If you want to disable this, add the option
"--without-gnome" when running ./configure.
* By default, gnome-specific gretl files (e.g. pixmaps, help files,
the gretl.desktop file) are installed under the prefix that is
returned by the command "gnome-config --prefix" (gnome 1.4) or
"pkg-config --variable=prefix libgnome-2.0" (gnome 2.0). This will
generally be correct, but if you want to override this behavior you
may use the option "--with-gnome-install=DIR" when running
configure. Substitute for "DIR" the prefix you want to use.
* If you want to build gretl without a dependency on GMP, even though
libgmp is on your system, specify the option "--without-gmp". This
reduces gretl's functionality and is not recommended.
