Re: cross building PSPP is not possible

[Friedrich Beckmann]

Hi Harry,

I also get failed builds for the windows cross build. The reason is here:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pspp-dev/2020-11/msg00011.html

John creates example results for the documentation with the build pspp 
executable. That does not work for the cross build because pspp.exe cannot be 
executed on the build host. The idea was to disable the build of the 
documentation with some configure option. I worked a little bit on that but 
without success so far. What I figured out is that it is not possible to put 
„info_TEXINFOS" in a conditional context - that is a restriction in automake. I 
then tried build the documentation in a hierarchical build but that requires 
some refactoring.
