GUI on Darwin Power Macintosh

I've just built the gui (from the latest CVS head) on a Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.0: Tue Feb 5 16:15:19 PST 2008; root:xnu-1228.3.13~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh (installing GTK and all it's dependencies was a marathon) The only caveat is that it's necessary to place a link in the ${prefix}/lib/pspp directory from libpsppire.so to libpsppire.dylib Other than that, it all seems to work fine.

Feel free to test it.New issue for the users and not mentioned in the readme, you need administrator rights to use to advanced features form the GUI.For the developers:- does the gui write temporary files somewhere other as in /tmp ? It looks as if the program crashes on this when it doesn't have write priviliges - there are several issues with the dll's 1)  cygpsppire-0.dll is build and cygpsppire.dll is used 2)  cyppsppwidget-0.dll is build and used, But the program seems to look only in the current directory for it There is a work around for it, but this could give problems in the future.CU _______________________________________________ pspp-dev mailing list pspp-dev@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-dev
