Re: PSPP-BUG: Windows 10 Pro PSPP Output error Crosstabs syntax error at 'PIVOT'

Hi Ben,

if you can’t wait, then you can go to the buildbot

https://caeis.etech.fh-augsburg.de/buildbot/#/builders/7/builds/226

and click „Rebuild“. The win-cross build does not build from the git repository 
but from your package here:
