Thanks for letting us know. I've got r11855 running on my iBook now - the problems were all about the environment variables and other hoops required to
actually build and run the program.

Just for future reference, it'd be nice if you could detail the commands you gave to ./autogen.sh and/or ./configure (depending on the revision) and the
commands / environment variables you need to build and run G2.

To build, I use:
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib CPATH=/sw/include \
./autogen.sh
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib CPATH=/sw/include \
./configure --enable-doxygen --enable-opt-style-install \
--prefix=/opt/fergus/gncuash
guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib CPATH=/sw/include \
make

I used the same autogen command and:

guile16-build env LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib CPATH=/sw/include ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-error-on-warning --enable-compile- warnings --enable-opt-style-install --prefix=/opt/gnc-g2-unstable -- enable-debug --enable-etags --enable-ofx --with-ofx-prefix=/opt/libofx

Does --enable-doxygen have to be used for the help system to work?

I don't need the env commands when I 'sudo make install' do I?

I've also had to change my PATH in ~/.bashrc to
PATH=/sw/bin/:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin

Fink already 'fixed' my path for me a long time ago -- PATH=/sw/bin:/ sw/sbin...

Then to run, I need:
#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/fergus/gnucash/bin
export LANG=en_GB
./gnucash

(this despite LANG=en_GB in every other xterm or shell). Simply running
gnucash direct lumps me into US Dollar.

At some point, I need to a) update the tree b) reinstall the auto tools
required to update the 1.8 tree and test again.

One difference, on Debian I get account balances in the summary window as £1,439.56. On OSX, I only get GBP 1,439.56. What do you get on OSX? Anyone
know why? I'd certainly prefer to have £ on OSX.

I have no clue if this will work, but try export LC_MONETARY=en_GB. If I use LANG=en_US, I don't get either dollar signs or commas at the thousands. But if I set LC_MONETARY to en_US, I get $ and commas.

It does run, opens my 5MB
1.8.11 data file (copy), though Save As isn't working

Interesting - I'll look at that.

, and the x11
terminal complains:

I should get the chance to do some real testing later this week. By
then maybe I'll see if I can do a repeat build performance with the
latest trunk.

1. Peter hasn't had problems on 10.4 like I have on 10.3
2. Do you have gnucash1.8 still installed?

Yes. 1.8.11 is still installed, and it hasn't given me any problems.

gnc-g2 complains when I start:

initializing gnc_html...
gnucash: [W] "failure loading ""/Users/dbr/.gnucash/config-1.8.auto"
gnucash: [W] "report-menu-setup"
Use of deprecated SAXv1 function getLineNumber

but that looks like warnings only.


I've always suspected most of my problems are down to the need to retain gnucash1.8 but then this will be a common upgrade path when G2 is finally released - I'm hoping we don't have to conflict with things like automake1.4
