Basic Installation
==================
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
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
