After

<command>
./configure --prefix=/Users/henrique/Desktop/gretl-dev --without-readline
</command>

And

<command>
make
</command>

I get

<output>
make -C share
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make -C xdg
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
</output>

Please note that I'm not using
"--with-gmp-prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/gmp/6.1.1" and
"--with-mpfr-prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/mpfr/3.1.5" flags anymore. macOS and
configure are not complaining now (I don't know why). Can I proceed to make
install?

Who needs to thank you it's me for your patience and kindness help ;-)

One simple question arises on my mind just now: What I expect to achieve
after building? I know that isn't a Gretl.app. But it will generate a GUI
or CLI version os Gretl?

Um abraço,

Dear Gretl Community,

I'm trying for the first time build Gretl on my MacOS. When I execute the
command ./configure I get an error:

"Please install GMP and then reconfigure gretl.
GMP is available from http://gmplib.org/"

I already have GMP installed (using Brew). How can I fix this?

You'll probably have to specify where your GMP installation is, using the
configure flag --with-gmp-prefix=<wherever>.

Thanks Allin! But now there is another problem. After the command:

./configure --prefix=/Users/henrique/Desktop/gretl-dev
--with-gmp-prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/gmp/6.1.1
--with-mpfr-prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/mpfr/3.1.5

I get:

gretlcli.c:437:5: error: use of undeclared identifier 'rl_done'
   rl_done = 1;
   ^
1 error generated.
make[1]: *** [gretlcli.o] Error 1
make: *** [cli] Error 2

I guess that either (a) if you have the GNU readline library installed you need to flag where that is, via

--with-readline-prefix=<somewhere>

or (b) you may disable readline support in gretlcli by

--without-readline

After

<command>

./configure --prefix=/Users/henrique/Desktop/gretl-dev --without-readline

</command>

And

<command>

make

</command>

I get

<output>

make -C share

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

make -C xdg

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

</output>

Please note that I'm not using "--with-gmp-prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/gmp/6.1.1" and "--with-mpfr-prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/mpfr/3.1.5" flags anymore. macOS and configure are not complaining now (I don't know why). Can I proceed to make install?

 

Thanks for persevering with an independent build on OS X!
