Re: How to work on the pspp code?

[John Darrington]

Hi Fritz, 

That's essentially how I work too.  But with a slight modification.
On my machine I have a /Scratch directory (which doesn't get backed up)

So I do:

mkdir /Scratch/some-task
cd /Scratch/some-task
$HOME/pspp-master/configure --prefix=$(mktemp -d -p /Scratch) CFLAGS="-O0 -g"
make
make install

That way I keep my $HOME free from clutter I don't need to backup.

     I could not figure out a way to find the ui files without using

     make install 
     
     But I figured out that there is way to use the binary that is produced by
     make without install. I use an out of source build directory. In this 
example
     the source tree is in ~/pspp/pspp and the build directory is ~/pspp/build 
the 
     install directory is ~/pspp/install. The configure step is
     
     cd ~/pspp/build
     ../configure --prefix=$HOME/pspp/install
     
     To use psppire, the ui files have to be installed with
     
     make install
     
     To start psppire with gui from the build directory (you can just run make 
after a source update).
     
     address@hidden:~/pspp/build$ ./src/ui/gui/psppire 
     
     To start pspp with my local test.sps script: 
     
     address@hidden:~/pspp/build$ ./src/ui/terminal/pspp -o fritz.html 
../test.sps
     
     ./src/ui/terminal/pspp and ./src/ui/gui/psppire are in fact shell script 
wrappers which
     are produced by libtool. Those scripts can not be run in gdb. 
     
     To start pspp in gdb:
     
     address@hidden:~/pspp/build$ libtool --mode=execute gdb 
./src/ui/terminal/pspp

     With that procedure you do not need to run the full make install after a 
source code change but just make.
