This may be a problem with autoconf, and not GnuCash. But anyway ...
Using the 1.5.2 that's in CVS, and the latest Gnome stuff from Helix,
I did "autogen.sh", and saw this:
checking for gtk_html_new in -lgtkhtml... no
configure: error: Cannot find gtkhtml. See the README for more info.
In `config.log', I found this evidence:
configure:6008: checking for gtk_html_new in -lgtkhtml
configure:6027: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -Wunused -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations -Wall -Werror-implicit-function-declaration conftest.c

/usr/lib/libgnomeprint.so: undefined reference to `unicode_init'
/usr/lib/libgnomeprint.so: undefined reference to `unicode_iconv'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I figured the problem was simply that configure wasn't passing
"-lunicode" to the linker. So I edited "configure" by changing the
line
LIBS="-lgtkhtml $GTKHTML_LIBS $LIBS"
to
LIBS="-lgtkhtml $GTKHTML_LIBS $LIBS -lunicode"
That worked, but of course it's not a real fix; it's just a
workaround. I suspect that "autoconf" doesn't realize that gtkhtml
requires -lunicode. And if I'm right, I guess I should report this as
a bug against autoconf. Have I in fact understood the problem
correctly?
