Re: PSPP-BUG: [bug #59673] cross compilation is not possible

[Harry Thijssen]

Hi

pspp.exe is generated in src/ui/terminal  and automake.mk mentions src/ui/termina/pspp

So I used a stub  bash script src/ui/terminal//pspp which calls pspp.exe

Between the configure and make I put this in src/uit/terminal.

It is picked up and executed. But I get:

(cd ./examples \
         && /home/pspp/pspp-master-20201214/pspp-1.5.2-g443d13/src/ui/terminal/pspp ../doc/pspp-figures/aggregate.sps -o - -O format=spv) > doc/pspp-figures/aggregate.spv.tmp
pspp.exe: cannot remove temporary directory C:\users\pspp\Temp\psppKn2Uty: Directory not empty

It looks as if this won't be a good path forward.

Stay safe

Indeed, that is that reason why I won´t install this on my 'normal' environment.  In this case it is not so important because it is a dedicated environment which I don´t use for other work. I don´t get  e-mail there, and I don´t download stuff there.

 

but it also

confuses autoconf into believing that you are NOT cross-compiling when in
fact you are.

That is a big problem.
