     Hi John,
     
     it tried the cross build with the script from Harry based on opensuse and 
mingw in an out of source build but it ends with the following:


Harry's script needs to be reconsidered.  In particular, based on my 
discussions with Harry,
it uses a wrapper which forces everything to be targeted on mingw.    This 
happened to work
until recently.  However now, when cross building, an auxilliary native build 
is required.


     It was created by GNU PSPP configure 1.5.2-g21f20b, which was
     generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

This is the problem.  --host= and --target are incorrect here (as are most of 
the other
flags).

I think these problems will disappear, if the pspp is built in the way 
recommended in the
INSTALL file.  Just make sure the build and source directories are not the same.
