Before You Install
==================
The following packages are required to install PSPP:
- * An ANSI C compiler and tool chain. On Unix-like systems, we
+ * A C compiler and tool chain. On Unix-like systems, we
recommend GCC, but any modern compilation environment should
work. On Microsoft Windows, Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) and
MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/) are known to work.
GNU libc includes an integrated libintl, so there is no need to
separately install libintl on a GNU/Linux system.
+ * zlib (http://www.zlib.net/).
+
The following packages are required to enable PSPP's graphing
features. If you cannot arrange to install them, you must run
-`configure' with --without-cairo.
+`configure' with --without-cairo (in which case you will get no graphing
+capability).
- * Cairo (http://cairographics.org/), version 1.5 or later.
+ * Cairo (http://cairographics.org/), version 1.12 or later.
* Pango (http://www.pango.org/), version 1.22 or later.
0.18 and 0.19 have a bug that will prevent library detection,
but other versions should be fine.
- * GTK+ (http://www.gtk.org/), version 2.12.0 or later.
+ * GTK+ (http://www.gtk.org/), version 3.4.0 or later.
* GtkSourceView (http://projects.gnome.org/gtksourceview/)
- version 2.2 or later.
+ version 3.4.0 or later.
+The following packages are optional:
-Installing the following packages will allow your PSPP binary to read
+Installing the following packages will allow your PSPP program to read
Gnumeric files.
- * zlib (http://www.zlib.net/).
-
* libxml2 (http://xmlsoft.org/).
-Installing the following packages will allow your PSPP binary to write
+Installing the following packages will allow your PSPP program to write
OpenDocument text (ODT) files:
* libxml2 (http://xmlsoft.org/).
-The following packages are optional.
+Other optional packages:
* libncurses (http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/). Without it,
PSPP will assume it is running in an 80x25 terminal.
Disable building the Perl module, in case it does not build properly
or you do not need it.
-`--enable-anachronistic-dependencies'
- If you use this option, some of the checks for dependent libraries
- will be relaxed, permitting configure to succeed when older versions
- of libraries are detected. Use of this option is not recommended.
- If you use it, some features may be missing and the build may fail
- with obscure error messages.
-
`--enable-relocatable'
This option is useful for building a package which can be installed
into an arbitrary directory and freely copied to any other directory.
If you use this option, you will probably want to install the pspp
- with a command similar to "make install DESTDIR=<distination>".
+ with a command similar to "make install DESTDIR=<destination>".
