Re: Error trying to compile pspp using up-to-date gnulib

[John Darrington]

The pspp build system includes the line

 gnulib-tool ... --import ... unilbrk/ulc-width-linebreaks ...

My guess is that mingw is trying and failing to quote the
unilbrk/ulc-width-linebreaks string.

     Hi Simon,
     
     I've tried a grep "./\"unilbrk" but it doesn't find anything. I guess
     this may be a complicated problem, so I ask one of the pspp-dev team
     to make me a snapshot of pspp, because I only got this error trying to
     make pspp with the git version of both pspp and gnulib.
     
     Thanks for the help,
     
     Michel
