-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, so here's my preliminary conclusion about gnucash on windows: It is *possible* to compile the full gnucash tree on windows/mingw32. All 586 C files can be compiled and linked (funny number, actually), including all modules of gnucash and all test executables. Eventually I can also run "make install" without (serious) errors.
However, I am unable to start gnucash-bin.exe because I get immediately DLL problems (well, what did you guess?). In this case the error message is something like "cannot find symbol freeaddrinfo in WS2_32.DLL", which is probably due to some unsuitable DLL versions in gconf (libgconf-2-4.dll) because when starting gconftool-2.exe that very same error is shown. Also, "make check" is able to run a few simple tests in src/gnc-module (e. g. test-dynload, test-scm-dynload, test-agedvar, test-load-c will PASS) but others will fail, either due some problems in the g-wrap installation (ERROR: file: "libgw-guile-standard", message: "can't open the module") or due to the same DLL symbol error as quoted above (that's for all tests in src/engine). But I have shown that *compiling* on Windows/mingw32 is possible. That's sufficient for me and I will abandon any further windows work for the time being. All notes have been collected on http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows . If anyone else is brave enough to try it and needs some help, just contact me. I'll happily return back to translation and importing work. Good luck to every one else who gives gnucash on windows a try.
