Now I did manage to build the old version last week, but only by getting rid of the built-in defines to warn or error about deprecated things : sed -i 's/-D.*DEPRECATED/ /g' configure
No idea if what resulted was usable. There *might* be an alternative - build webkit with gtk2 so that it produces the webkit-1 versions instead of webkit-3 which is what gnome uses - and then use --with-html-engine=webkit in gnucash. To say nothing of the required deprecated gnome packages that I've actually stopped building. If I were to try this, I think I'd put all these gnucash-only deps, and perhaps gnucash itself, into /opt. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
