Hi,
I'm fairly new to GnuCash, but not to the process of building
packages from source. After many preliminary steps, I was
able yesterday to successfully complete the configure step
for 1.4.1 on an i386 machine running Debian 2.1 with a 2.2.13
kernel and gcc-2.95.2. A couple of notes and questions
regarding problems I encountered:
1. I had to add "#include <gdk/gdkkeysyms.h>" to
"src/register/gnome/combocell-gnome.c" to overcome errors
related to GDK_Escape, GDK_slash, etc. being undeclared.
Would this indicate that some critical header file is
perhaps out of date, and if so, which file?
2. In "src/register/gnome/gnucash-grid.c", gcc reported the
following:
gnucash-grid.c:107: parse error before `ArtSVP'
gnucash-grid.c: In function `gnucash_grid_update':
gnucash-grid.c:109: structure has no member named `update'
gnucash-grid.c:110: structure has no member named `update'
gnucash-grid.c:111: `item' undeclared (first use in this function)
gnucash-grid.c:111: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
gnucash-grid.c:111: for each function it appears in.)
gnucash-grid.c:111: `affine' undeclared (first use in this function)
gnucash-grid.c:111: `clip_path' undeclared (first use in this function)
gnucash-grid.c:111: `flags' undeclared (first use in this function)
gnucash-grid.c: In function `gnucash_grid_class_init':
gnucash-grid.c:501: structure has no member named `update'
A search of the source and header bases did not find any occurence
of ArtSVP in a declaration or definition. Does anyone know
offhand what I'm missing?
3. I expect it's likely these issues have been discussed before,
however I was unable to find a convenient way to search the
email archives or download them as a group to search using
grep or vi. Any suggestions? I'd prefer to research this
myself rather than clutter the mailing list with questions
which may have already been answered.
4. Might there be a .deb package for my release of Debian? I'm
anxiously awaiting the release of 2.2, however I can't upgrade
until it is stable. As I mentioned, I've got the support
pieces in place at least well enough to make the configure
script happy. In general, it has been my experience that
once that point is reached, compiling to a working binary is
straightforward.
Any assistance appreciated. This looks like a very useful
package, but the road to a working binary has been extremely
long and bumpy.
