1 Prerequisites for Building PSPP from Git
2 ----------------------------------------
4 To build this project from the sources direct from the Git archive,
5 you must install the prerequisites listed in README, plus the
8 * Autoconf 2.60 (or later).
10 * Automake 1.10 (or later).
12 * Gettext 0.17 (or later).
14 * GNU M4 1.4.9 (or later).
16 * pkg-config 0.21 (or later).
18 * gperf 3.0.1 (or later).
20 * Gnulib (see below for details).
22 * libtool 1.5.22 (or later).
24 * Texinfo 4.7 or later, to build the documentation.
26 After you install PSPP's prerequisites, you must obtain a copy of
27 Gnulib, then bootstrap the tree, as described in the sections below.
28 After that, you may follow the procedure described in INSTALL.
33 This version of PSPP should work with the Gnulib commit shown below.
34 Gnulib does not maintain a stable API or ABI, so it is possible that
35 PSPP will not work with older or newer versions of Gnulib.
38 commit 52a32bbd66601d12627e104cd82d9b9094d942c3

42 unistr/u8-strchr: Fix a test failure on i586 glibc systems.
44 * tests/unistr/test-strchr.h (test_strchr): Disable an invalid check.
47 To clone Gnulib into a directory named "gnulib" using Git, and then
48 check out this particular commit, run these commands:
49 git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git gnulib
52 where $COMMIT should be replaced by the commit number listed above
53 (usually it is sufficient to just type the first 6 or so digits).
55 If you do not have Git installed, then you may alternately download
56 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=snapshot;h=$COMMIT;sf=tgz
57 where $COMMIT is, again, at least the first few digits of the commit
58 number listed above. This download will yield a tar.gz file that you
59 may extract with "gunzip" and "tar" to yield identical results.
64 Once you have Gnulib installed, PSPP must be "bootstrapped" using the
67 If you checked Gnulib out in a directory named `gnulib' at the same
68 level as PSPP, then this is sufficient. Otherwise, provide the
69 location of GNULIB on the `make' command line:
70 make -f Smake GNULIB=/gnulib/base/directory/name
72 After executing Smake, follow the procedure described in INSTALL to
73 build and install PSPP. On some systems this may be as simple as:
77 Once PSPP is built, you may run its self-tests with:
79 or for a more thorough test:
