Harry Thijssen's build process for Windows? What Linux distro would I need to install to have pspp packaged (or have the requirements packaged so the tarball woudl compile cleanly)? Because I have six Linux machines running CentOS 6 and 7 and none of them will run psppire.
Windows is the only way I can use PSPP (IRE) (because I also do not have a Mac). I was hopeful that Fedora would support it and I'd be willing to install Fedora, but last time I checked (quite a while ago) they weren't maintaining a package for the spreadsheet widget. I'm not dying to install an apt-get-based Linux, just to run PSPP... -Alan On 7/29/2020 11:26 AM, Ben Pfaff wrote: > I keep thinking it would be nice to have automatic builds of PSPP for > Mac OS and for Windows, in the same way that we have them for > GNU/Linux.
