1/7/2024 0 Comments Gnu pspp windows![]() pspp windows users will have a *hard time building pspp from source* It seems that a bird's eye view of the problem is: Emphasis however will always be in the order: So if you wish to help provide binaries for a non-free system you are welcome to do so, and we can and do provide links to those binaries in case people want to use them. But the GNU project's take on such argument is that "slightly non-free" is like saying "slightly pregnant". There is no reason why people shouldn't help do that task, because it makes a Windows (a non-free system) slightly less non-free. Having said that, however, it is common for GNU programs to be built to operate on non-free systems (such as windows). Source code is always more important that binaries because you can produce a binary from the source code, but the reverse is not possible. From that point of view, Windows binaries are *irrelevant*. PSPP is part of the GNU project, and the primary purpose of the GNU project is to provide a 100% free operating system.
