Description Rodrigo Severo 2008-06-28 14:39:10 UTC
pspp-0.6.0 available at <http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/>.

I've renamed the pspp-0.4.0.ebuild to pspp-0.6.0.ebuild. It emerged and seems to be working fine. I did only minimal run&close tests though.

The emerge didn't create a menu entry for pspp (or more precisely for psppire, the GUI version of pspp.

Thanks much for the note. I'll have a look at it later.

Best,
Markus

I've just committed pspp-0.6.0 to portage.

Unfortunately, I took me quite some time to prepare
this package since I encountered an unpleasant gcc-4.3
issue related to gsl on which pspp depends. I'll give
additional details below since this could come up again in
pretty much any package linking against gsl:

The trigger was the fact pspp-0.6.0 passes the 
pre-processor flag HAVE_INLINE which causes a whole
host of gsl inline functions to be enabled in its header
files. Up to gcc-4.2 this seemed to work just fine. 
Unfortunately, gcc-4.3 decides (for most CFLAGS I've
tried) to not inline these functions any more giving 
pages worth of multiply defined symbols during linking.
For now, I've turned off inlining in pspp's build
system but this is clearly not a good situation.
I'll try to get in touch with gsl's upstream to ask
them for recommendations on what to do in this case.

Thanks,
Markus
