required during build but not after installation.
- * Python (https://python.org/), version 2.7 or later (Python 3 is
- fine). Some tests require Python; if it is missing, those tests
- will be skipped. PSPP does not otherwise require Python.

* iconv, which should be installed as part of a Unix-like system.
If you don't have a version already, you can install GNU
libiconv (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/).
- * libintl, from GNU gettext (http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext).
- GNU libc includes an integrated libintl, so there is no need to

The following packages are required to enable PSPPIRE, the graphical
user interface for PSPP. If you cannot install them or do not wish to
version 3.4.0 or later.
* GNU Spread Sheet Widget (http://www.gnu.org/software/ssw)

+ * Perl (https://www.perl.org/), version 5.005_03 or later.
+
+ * The Config::Perl::V module for Perl (https://cpan.org).
+
+ * Optionally, the Text::Diff and Memory::Usage modules for Perl
+ (https://cpan.org). These modules enable PSPP to test its Perl

Other optional packages:
interface, but not the Postgresql interface itself, requires the
Postgresql server to be installed.
- * The Text::Diff module for Perl (http://cpan.org). This enables
- PSPP to test the Perl module more thoroughly. It is not needed
- to build or use the Perl module.

Basic Installation
==================
./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O0 LIBS=-lposix
+Cross Compiling
+===============
+
To cross-compile PSPP, you will likely need to set the
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR environment variable to point to an
appropriate pkg-config for the cross-compilation environment.
+Part of cross-compiling procedure builds a native binary. Therefore, you
+will need not only the dependent libraries for your target, but also for the
+build machine. This is because the native version is used to create
+examples for the user manual.
+
See "Defining Variables", below, for more details.
Installation Names
Optional Features
=================
-`--without-cairo'
- Don't compile in support for charts (using Cairo and Pango). This
- is useful if your system lacks these libraries.
-
`--without-gui'
Don't build the PSPPIRE gui. Use this option if you only want to
build the command line version of PSPP.
- Cairo and Pango required to build the GUI, so --without-cairo
- implies --without-gui.
-
`--without-lib{xx}'
Optional libraries should normally be detected and the relevant
functionality will be built they exist. However, on some poorly
projects / pspp / blobdiff
