 The install process will install the psppire glade library, icons and
 psppire.xml files in the appropiate system locations. You cannot override
 this with --prefix. After that you can run "glade" and open the ui files.

+Building from git on Mac OS
+---------------------------
+
+You can build on MacOS in the macports environment. After installing all
+required packages to resolve library dependencies and autotools e.t.c, you
+run make -f Smake as described above.
+
+The macports system provides the libraries and header files in a separate
+location from the MacOS system libraries. The typical locations are
+
+Libraries: /opt/local/lib
+Headers:   /opt/local/include
+
+pspp under macports will be linked against the macports libraries. The configure
+script has to be informed about the library and header locations. Assume the following
+directory structure for an out of tree build:
+
+~/mypspp
+  |----pspp    (This is the pspp git directory)
+  |----install (The install location containing also ui files for psppire)
+  |----build   (The build directory)
+  |----gnulib  (The gnulib directory as described above)
+
+Then you can build with the following commands:
+
+    cd ~/mypspp/pspp
+    make -f Smake
+    cd ../build
+    ../pspp/configure --prefix=/Users/USER/mypspp/install \
+                  LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib \
+                 CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include
+    make
+    make install
+    ../install/bin/psppire (If everything worked, you should see psppire...)
