To build this project from the sources direct from the cvs archive, you must install the prerequisites listed in README, plus the following: * Autoconf 2.58 (or later). * Automake 1.9.x (or later). * Gettext 0.14.5 (or later). * Gnulib, from CVS (see http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=gnulib). Note that Gnulib does not require any form of installation: simply checking it out into a directory is sufficient. Once you have these installed, execute make -f Smake If you checked Gnulib out in a directory named `gnulib' at the same level as PSPP, then this is sufficient. Otherwise, provide the location of GNULIB on the `make' command line: make -f Smake GNULIB=/gnulib/base/directory/name After executing Smake, you may configure the source tree in the usual way with ./configure, e.g. ./configure For a list of options: ./configure --help To test: make check For a very thorough test: make distcheck
