Re: PSPP bundle in older Mac OS X

[Friedrich Beckmann]

Hi Tero,

I have made a new approach by just compiling the library dependencies
of pspp with MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.8 and not the full build
environment. So now I have a new bundle which should work with MacOS version
starting from 10.8. With 10.7 I had a problem with python38 which has to
be rebuild also due to some dependencies.

Could you maybe try the bundle in 10.9 and 10.11 as you have a setup for that?

The updated bundle 1.4.0-1 is here:
