Ok, I can now  build the gda-dev2 branch on my system.  Thanks for the help on 
that.

I then ran the dist.sh script to build the setup.exe, I had to add the 
following to the prepare function:

    _LIBGDA_UDIR=`unix_path $LIBGDA_DIR`

to get dist.sh to run.

I installed the setup.exe and gnucash runs but I'm not sure how to get it to 
use a GDA connection.  I don't even know how to configure a gda connection.

Is there documentation somewhere about setting this up?  I'd like to run with 
mySQL but I'd work with sqllite if that's easier to setup.

Thanks,
karim b

     What is the appropriate place?  I went into the
     c:/soft/gnucash/repos
     directory and did an svn switch to the gda-dev2 branch but a
     checkout
     then created a c:/soft/gnucash/repos/gda-dev2 directory were it
     dropped
     the gda-dev2 files.  Is that where they should go?

   The default is to check out
   [5]http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk/ to c:/soft/gnucash/repos
   You will need to checkout (or switch) c:/soft/gnucash/repos to have a
   checkout of [6]http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/branches/gda-dev2
   This can be done manually or you can remove c:/soft/gnucash/* , add
   REPOS_URL="[7]http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/branches/gda-dev2"; to
   your custom.sh and re-run install.sh

   Thanks,
   Karim B
