Re: problems compiling pspp in cygwin

[flxms]

Hi Jason,

thank you for your answer! Of course the way you described is the easiest and 
most efficient in case one is just interested in running PSPP on Windows (Thanx 
a lot to unknown-1!!!) In my case I already have a quite huge cygwin installed, 
which I use for compiling other Software (mostly bioinformatic tools) and 
because of the Xserver, gwak, sed, etc. which I really miss on Windows.

Unfortunately I can confirm, that the package provided by unknown-1 is not 
compatible with an already installed cygwin (at least not out of the box; I 
tested it :-().

So I tried to compile it the way unknown-1 described it. Further more I am 
interested in redistributing a custom cygwin image including other useful 
bioinformatics tools. So I guess I have to do it the hard way...

Best regards,
Felix
