Basic Installation

+These are installation instructions specific to PSPP (including PSPPIRE,
the graphic user interface). These instructions contain the
information most commonly needed by people wishing to build the
program from source. More detailed information can be found in the
./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.
+
+To do a windows cross compilation on a debian build machine, the mingw64
+cross build system can be used. First you have to install the build
+dependencies with
+
+sudo apt install -y build-essential python3 perl texinfo texlive \
+ libgsl-dev libgtk-3-dev libgtksourceview-3.0-dev \
+ pkg-config gperf git zip curl autoconf libtool \
+ gettext libreadline-dev appstream \
+ mingw-w64 meson ninja-build \
+ imagemagick wget nsis texlive-plain-generic
+
+To build windows 64bit installers from the latest nightly do the following steps
+
+mkdir sandbox
+sandboxdir=`pwd`/sandbox
+curl -o pspp.tgz https://benpfaff.org/~blp/pspp-master/latest-source.tar.gz
+tar -xzf pspp.tgz
+./pspp-<version>/Windows/build-dependencies --arch=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --sandbox=$sandboxdir
+mkdir build
+cd build
+../pspp-<version>/configure --host="x86_64-w64-mingw32" \
+ CPPFLAGS="-I$sandboxdir/Install/include" \
+ LDFLAGS="-L$sandboxdir/Install/lib" \
+ PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="$sandboxdir/Install/lib/pkgconfig" \
+ --prefix=$sandboxdir/psppinst \
+ --enable-relocatable
+make -j4
+make install
+make install-html
+make install-pdf
+make Windows/installers
+
+The windows installers are then available in the build/Windows directory. Note that
+building via mingw64-configure/make does not work because some example outputs for the
+documentation are created during the build process. That requires a native version also
+during the cross compile build which does not work with mingw64-configure.
+

Installation Names
You can cause programs to be installed with an extra prefix or
suffix on their names by giving `configure' the option
-`--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
+`--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
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.
-
-`--with-gui-tools'
- Build the gui developer tools. There is no reason to use this
- option unless you're involved with the development of PSPP
-
`--without-lib{xx}'
Optional libraries should normally be detected and the relevant
functionality will be built they exist. However, on some poorly
