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 INSTALL, plus the
8 * Autoconf 2.64 (or later).
10 * Automake 1.14 (or later).
12 * Gettext 0.19 (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 5.2 or later, to build the documentation.
26 * rsvg-convert from librsvg2.
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.
39 commit ff24917703530849f3b109905d437337cdeeab14

43 setlocale: Update after Turkey changed its name.
45 * lib/setlocale.c: Update comments.
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:
82 Building from git on Mac OS
83 ---------------------------
85 You can build on MacOS in the macports environment. After installing all
86 required packages to resolve library dependencies and autotools e.t.c, you
87 run make -f Smake as described above.
89 The macports system provides the libraries and header files in a separate
90 location from the MacOS system libraries. The typical locations are
92 Libraries: /opt/local/lib
93 Headers: /opt/local/include
95 pspp under macports will be linked against the macports libraries. The configure
96 script has to be informed about the library and header locations. Assume the following
97 directory structure for an out of tree build:
100 |----pspp (This is the pspp git directory)
101 |----install (The install location containing also ui files for psppire)
102 |----build (The build directory)
103 |----gnulib (The gnulib directory as described above)
105 Then you can build with the following commands:
110 ../pspp/configure --prefix=/Users/USER/mypspp/install \
111 LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib \
112 CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include
115 ../install/bin/psppire (If everything worked, you should see psppire...)
