Re: PSPP-BUG: Problem running Version pspp-20200905-daily-64bit

[jeepee]

Hello Friedrich,

thanks for answering.

Meanwhile I found out that the reason for this might have to do with what Microsoft says about the use of "ScriptIsComplex" routine:

 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/usp10/nf-usp10-scriptiscomplex

According to them the ScriptIsComplex function determines whether a Unicode string requires complex script processing.

And it is IMPORTANT to know that in order to maintain the ability to run on

Windows 7, a module that uses Uniscribe must specify Usp10.lib before

gdi32.lib in its library list.

So it seems to me to be a problem that can be solved by the people who "build" the windows version of PSPP. They seem to make the build from a system later than Windows-7 and so never came across this "bug".

How can I reach out to those people? Do they read this bug-tracker?

Many thanks

Peter

PS: I am new to the use of bug-gnu-pspp. I just replied to your post by using the "reply via email to" - button on the webpage. Since I would like this email to be posted on the web too I put bug-gnu-pspp@gnu.org in the CC-field. Am I doing this right?
