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.
39 commit c5c4f53b31f1ad04f4033a6124120ffec9257847

43 vasnprintf: fix potential use after free
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:
86 The ui files in src/ui/gui may be viewed (maybe changed) with Glade. For this
89 * libgladeui 2.0 or later
93 configure --with-gui-tools
97 psppire uses some self defined widgets. To use glade these widgets have
98 to be announced to glade such that you can view the interface.
99 The install process will install the psppire glade library, icons and
100 psppire.xml files in the appropiate system locations. You cannot override
101 this with --prefix. After that you can run "glade" and open the ui files.
103 Building from git on Mac OS
104 ---------------------------
106 You can build on MacOS in the macports environment. After installing all
107 required packages to resolve library dependencies and autotools e.t.c, you
108 run make -f Smake as described above.
110 The macports system provides the libraries and header files in a separate
111 location from the MacOS system libraries. The typical locations are
113 Libraries: /opt/local/lib
114 Headers: /opt/local/include
116 pspp under macports will be linked against the macports libraries. The configure
117 script has to be informed about the library and header locations. Assume the following
118 directory structure for an out of tree build:
121 |----pspp (This is the pspp git directory)
122 |----install (The install location containing also ui files for psppire)
123 |----build (The build directory)
124 |----gnulib (The gnulib directory as described above)
126 Then you can build with the following commands:
131 ../pspp/configure --prefix=/Users/USER/mypspp/install \
132 LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib \
133 CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include
136 ../install/bin/psppire (If everything worked, you should see psppire...)
