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 * Gimp -- 2.8.2 is known to work
28 After you install PSPP's prerequisites, you must obtain a copy of
29 Gnulib, then bootstrap the tree, as described in the sections below.
30 After that, you may follow the procedure described in INSTALL.
35 This version of PSPP should work with the Gnulib commit shown below.
36 Gnulib does not maintain a stable API or ABI, so it is possible that
37 PSPP will not work with older or newer versions of Gnulib.

45 * lib/vasnprintf.c (VASNPRINTF): Fix free-memory read,
46 flagged by clang-analyzer 3.4.2.
48 To clone Gnulib into a directory named "gnulib" using Git, and then
49 check out this particular commit, run these commands:
50 git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git gnulib
53 where $COMMIT should be replaced by the commit number listed above
54 (usually it is sufficient to just type the first 6 or so digits).
56 If you do not have Git installed, then you may alternately download
57 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=snapshot;h=$COMMIT;sf=tgz
58 where $COMMIT is, again, at least the first few digits of the commit
59 number listed above. This download will yield a tar.gz file that you
60 may extract with "gunzip" and "tar" to yield identical results.
65 Once you have Gnulib installed, PSPP must be "bootstrapped" using the
68 If you checked Gnulib out in a directory named `gnulib' at the same
69 level as PSPP, then this is sufficient. Otherwise, provide the
70 location of GNULIB on the `make' command line:
71 make -f Smake GNULIB=/gnulib/base/directory/name
73 After executing Smake, follow the procedure described in INSTALL to
74 build and install PSPP. On some systems this may be as simple as:
78 Once PSPP is built, you may run its self-tests with:
80 or for a more thorough test:
