I meant that I have installed Friedrich's version recently on Windows.
I have compiled PSPP quite a while ago for CentOS. I needed John Darrington's
help and I could only get the non-gui target to build and only for an older
version of pspp.
I think compiling pspp for Windows with, say, Visual Studio might be
complicated. Maybe a Windows dev would disagree, but I think the builds that
are created are cross-compiled from Linux. It might be easier under Cygwin or
with one of the recent additions to Windows to make it easier to compile
software intended for Linux...

Hi Alan
Thanks for responding. Do you mean you compiled and PSPP developer's version
of PSPP and installed that? Or you installed Friedrich's version.
Thanks

And to expand on that, the PSPP developers release source code and each
platform (Windows, Mac, each Linux distro) then needs a package maintainer to
compile the software and "package" it to make it available for end-users.
(To be clear, end-users are also allowed, even encouraged, to compile the
software themselves, but that is beyond the technical capabilities of the
average computer user.) So virtually 100% of the users of PSPP are using a
version made by someone else. Not that it's a bad idea to find out who made it.
You are trusting that the compiled code is sound. I can vouch for having
installed and used the Windows version of PSPP, but obviously your mileage may
vary. -Alan

Hi all, sorry if this has been answered.
This page says we can get a windows version of pspp
https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/get.html
Which goes to here
https://caeis.etech.fh-augsburg.de/downloads/windows/1.5.3-g797d4c/
Is there any information on who made this version?
Thanks
Gene
