Stephen, Where did Nathan use the word "tarball"? I don't see it anywhere...
Nathan was asking whether he thought people would want to be able to have a nightly Win32 build (gnucash-setup.exe) available in addition to the stable Win32 build (gnucash-setup.exe). HOPEFULLY the two installations would be independent, although I dont know if you could have them both installed simultaneously or not. This has nothing to do with building gnucash yourself. -derek "Stephen Grant brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hi All, > > If by a tarball you mean a 50 to 60 megabyte file each night I would soon > run out of download quota. > > Why not a svn checkout of a compiled and runable gnucash that can be run > independently of the stable 2.2.1 version? > > I am still attempting to get a working build system for gnucash under > Windows Vista. > > Under Windows XP I could run the gnucash from the stable tarball or gnucash >>From the build and as far as I know the two versions of gnucash where > entirely independent of each other. ie no files used in the tarball'ed > gnucash from the gnucash I built, and no files used in the gnucash I built >>From the gnucash obtained from the tarball. > > Yours Sincerely Stephen Grant Brown > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Nathan Buchanan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "gnucash-devel" <[email protected]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, October 05, 2007 1:25 PM > Subject: Windows nightly build: Would you use it? > > >> Hello All! >> >> I've been considering providing nightly development builds of gnucash for >> Windows, but there's been some debate among the developers as to whether >> the >> builds would be used.
