problems compiling pspp in cygwin

[flxms]

I tried to follow a howto from "unknown-1", who recently made a cygwin
windows port of pspp available
(http://rapidshare.de/files/39660548/*PSPP*-0.6.0.RC2-7-Setup.zip.html 
<http://rapidshare.de/files/39660548/PSPP-0.6.0.RC2-7-Setup.zip.html>).
Here is an excerpt of the howto I followed:

*1.  For development use, **Install Cygwin and update with Cygwin-Ports *
 
- on a clean PC Cygwin (http:www.cygwin.com <http://www.cygwin.com/>)
is fully installed using the setup program.
  The complete installation is time and disk space consuming. It might
be sufficient to install:
     - Base install (which is default)
     - the group Devel
     - the group Libs
     - the group Graphics
     - the group X11
     - the package "libglade2-devel"
     - the package "libgetaddrinfo-devel"
- the Cygwin-Ports (http://cygwinports.dotsrc.org 
<http://cygwinports.dotsrc.org/>) packages are downloaded from
ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/cygwinports/release  (using FTP) to a local
package directory on your PC.
- you now have to change the date of the setup.ini with:
       sed -i -e "s@^setup-timestamp:.*@setup-timestamp: `date +%s`@" \
       <your local directory
path>/ftp%3a%2f%2fsunsite.dk%2fprojects%2fcygwinports/setup.ini
  this timestamp change is necessary because of the way the Cygwin setup
functions.
- setup is started again now with install from local directory. Use the
directory where the Cygwinports packages are stored as your local
directory and click continue etc. Select
     - the package Yelp
     - the package libglade2-devel
     - the package libgetaddrinfo-devel
  as additional package and continue. Setup wil now install all updates
form the Cygwinports packages.
- Create a link with ln  /usr/lib/libpng12.a /usr/lib/libpng.a (this is
a workaround which might not be necessary)

I omitted the last step. I checked the versions of packages gtk+-2.0 and
libglade-2.0 to meet the demands of ./configure (see previous postings
to the list). Configure finsihed without any errors.

Make reportet 2 errors. Here are the last few lines of the output:

grep: /usr/lib/libXdamage.la: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libXdamage.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libXdamage.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[2]: *** [src/ui/gui/libpsppwidgets.la] Fehler 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/flxms/src/pspp-0.6.0'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Fehler 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/flxms/src/pspp-0.6.0'
make: *** [all] Fehler 2

Unfortunately I am quite a newbie and have problems interpreting this
output. I couldn't find a package named Xdamage via the cygwin
Installtool. Could please anyone help me out?

Best regards, flxms.

I haven't done much with the Windows port except install and test it, so
I don't know everything about it. But it looks like you tried to install
a development version, which is harder to work with and probably not what
you want.

If you just want a running installation of pspp 0.6.0 on a Windows machine,
you should be able to just unzip the archive and double-click on setup.exe,
then follow the directions for a straightforward installation. That's what
I did, and I never had to deal with ./configure and make.
