I think most of Windows' users aren't technical at all. To be honest, I think I've never met a Windows developer in my life. Usually when users have a good technical knowledge they migrate to Linux.
Using my Dockerfile or John's script we currently can create a working PSPP copy for Windows (if you just copy the installation path and double click on psppire.exe, it works), so I think it's only a matter of creating the installer. I'll try to help this issue because I agree with Ben: your time is too precious for PSPP to be spent making things work on Windows :) On 21/05/16 09:53AM, John Darrington wrote: > It sounds like you have cross-built and installed all the dependencies > okay.
