You forgot to tell which OS you are using. I think it's Windows! In case
it's not Windows discard the following instructions.....:-)

The simpler way to compile GSL under Windows  is to install MinGW64


https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/?source=navbar

and MSYS2

https://www.msys2.org/

and use the

configure ; make ; make check

procedure.

Before compiling the library set the environment variable CFLAGS in the
command shell as

CFLAGS="-O2 -DHAVE_INLINE -DGSL_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGSL_RANGE_CHECK=0
-D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1"

and export it with

export CFLAGS

The define statement

-D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1

is require for compatibility.

Please note that the latest official version 2.4 has an issue (it's not
a GSL issue) that prevent the final check phase from completing. The 2.3
works fine.


The the resulting library and include files can be easily used with
CodeBlocks.

If it seems too difficult I can send you an archive with includes and  a
pre-compiled static library ready for Codeblocks. I'm currently using
GCC compiler version 7.3.0 64 bit. In case you are using a different
version of GCC let me know your used version. In case you are not using
GCC I cant' help you! :-)
