Some newbie questions

[alfred . j . wheeler]

Hi All,
1.
I noted that pspp is only available as source, not binaries. I tried 
compiling with cygwin32 on windows 98, but no luck. It complained 
of not knowing host type. I issued a set command to examine the 
environment variables and observed that host type is set to i686. 
Suggestions, please? 

2.
I am hoping to compile using MinGW, to minimize or eliminate 3rd 
party dll requirements.

3. 
I think I noticed that no GUI is provided for this tool. Am I correct? 
Is there a sub-project in place to cover this? If not is there a 
perceived need for it? 

I think any further question(s), etc. depends on response.

Thanks,
:)
