In your build/addons/SVAR directory, what's the value of "topsrc" on the
first line? And in the same directory, what do the first few lines of
pkg.inp look like?


In the makefile in /SVAR:
topsrc = ../../../gretl-git
(which seems right)

and in pkg.inp:
string topsrc = "../../../gretl-git"
string dtd = topsrc ~ "/share/functions/gretlfunc.dtd"
string pkgdir = topsrc ~ "/addons/SVAR"

(also look OK to me)


If I'm normalizing the funny-looking path above correctly, it resolves to

C:/msys64/home/fantomas/src/build/gretl-git/addons/SVAR/SVAR_boot.inp

which looks wrong: "build" shouldn't be in there?


Yes, it shouldn't be. Which brings us back to the thing that puzzled me
some weeks or months ago, why is there only this single dot in the
middle of the part "  addons\SVAR\./../../gretl-git  ".


Ah, that must be due to the trailing backslash in the first part of 
the path. And I can guess what needs to be fixed to handle that. 
Stay tuned!

I've had another go at the Makefiles, which might help, but if it still

OK, partial success here, don't know whether it is actually caused by
your latest changes. I completely deleted the existing w32tex
installation and did a fresh install of that. Oh and also let the gretl
source be cloned anew.
Then the default way (your variant of conf.sh) worked!

However, then I went back to the GTK3 + addons build attempt, meaning
that I edited conf.sh and re-ran that before doing make. There I got an

I guess we could institute "fill from the top" behaviour for ODBC

Good idea. My candidates are:
* fill
* fill-dataset
* no-alignment
* drop-to-dataset
* drop


Since this is something that should be used with great care, I'd rather go 
for something a little more scary, such as --no-align.
