Yes. It's all programmatic. A long time (5 years? 8 years?) ago I had issues with gtk3 and just froze gretl it at gtk2. Time to change. You can see the settings thanks for our "all sources viewable" server: - this line in debian/control governs what is present when gretl builds https://sources.debian.org/src/gretl/2017d-2/debian/control/#L6 - these lines in debian/rules has the configure call https://sources.debian.org/src/gretl/2017d-2/debian/rules/#L41-L53 So I just made changes to both these and will try a build. It should just work. Snapshot from ongoing build: Configuration: Installation path: /usr Use readline library: yes Use gnuplot for graphs: yes Use pdflatex for typesetting: yes Use libgsf for zip/unzip: no sse2 support for RNG: no OpenMP support: yes MPI support: yes AVX support for arithmetic: no Build with GTK version: 3.0 Build gretl documentation: no Use Lucida fonts: no Build message catalogs: yes Build gretl addons: no X-12-ARIMA support: yes TRAMO/SEATS support: yes libR support: yes libsvm support: no ODBC support: yes JSON parsing support: yes Experimental audio support: no Use xdg-utils in installation: no LAPACK libraries: -llapack -lblas -lgfortran Now type 'make' to build gretl. xdg-utils seems like a low-hanging fruit... We could probably tweak one or two more but keep in mind that we do need support on 12 different architectures. Not all of them have everything. This was on my x86_64 aka amd64. But thanks for being attentive. Nothing better for a maintainer that an alert upstream team :) Happy 2018, Dirk | ---------- Forwarded message ---------- | Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2017 22:17:12 -0500 | From: Jeremy Bicha <jbi...@debian.org> | To: sub...@bugs.debian.org | Subject: Bug#885680: gretl: Depends on unmaintained gtksourceview2 | Resent-Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2017 03:21:02 +0000 | Resent-From: Jeremy Bicha <jbi...@debian.org> | Resent-To: debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org | Resent-cc: Dirk Eddelbuettel <e...@debian.org> | | Source: gretl | Version: 2017d-2 | Severity: important | User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org | Usertags: oldlibs gtksourceview2 | Tags: sid buster | | As announced [1], we do not intend to release Debian 10 "Buster" with | the old libgnome (and related) libraries.
