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.

41 Avoid identifier clash with POSIX function 'remove' defined as a macro.
43 To clone Gnulib into a directory named "gnulib" using Git, and then
44 check out this particular commit, run these commands:
45 git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git gnulib
48 where $COMMIT should be replaced by the commit number listed above
49 (usually it is sufficient to just type the first 6 or so digits).
51 If you do not have Git installed, then you may alternately download
52 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=snapshot;h=$COMMIT;sf=tgz
53 where $COMMIT is, again, at least the first few digits of the commit
54 number listed above. This download will yield a tar.gz file that you
55 may extract with "gunzip" and "tar" to yield identical results.
60 Once you have Gnulib installed, PSPP must be "bootstrapped" using the
63 If you checked Gnulib out in a directory named `gnulib' at the same
64 level as PSPP, then this is sufficient. Otherwise, provide the
65 location of GNULIB on the `make' command line:
66 make -f Smake GNULIB=/gnulib/base/directory/name
68 After executing Smake, follow the procedure described in INSTALL to
69 build and install PSPP. On some systems this may be as simple as:
73 Once PSPP is built, you may run its self-tests with:
75 or for a more thorough test:
