Re: Windows Cross build fails because pspp executable is required during build

[Friedrich Beckmann]

Maybe it is possible that 

make
make install

will produce an info file without examples? Examples only with make doc or 
similar?

Another idea would be a make target which is crafted for the cross compile 
process without
the requirement of a pspp executable that runs on the build host.
