Not as much importance as fixing a lot of other things first. The GNU maintainer doc says: "Supporting other platforms is optional -- we do it when that seems like a good idea, but we don't consider it obligatory. If the users don't take care of a certain platform, you may have to desupport it unless and until users come forward to help. Conversely, if a user offers changes to support an additional platform, you will probably want to install them, but you don't have to. If you feel the changes are complex and ugly, if you think that they will increase the burden of future maintenance, you can and should reject them. This includes both free platforms such as NetBSD or FreeBSD ...." Based on this, I'd say it should be my problem, especially since PSPP builds on BSD using GNU make, and it runs fine. Where does the trouble lie? (Or lay?) -Jason _______________________________________________ pspp-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-dev
