John's build scripts don't set a version explicitly and I can't build the Mac OS X/Quartz port myself, my OSX version is too old. But I would presume it to be a fairly recent version. > One should never call > dbus-launch with the MacPorts version of dbus, and probably not with > the Fink version although I don't use that version.

How do these build environments deal with set gnucash-setup-env file ? Do they just use it as provided for the linux build ? Or do they add/modify/delete things ? I'm asking because the gnucash-setup-env file has been eliminated and replaced with a configuration file (called "environment"). It is parsed early by the gnucash binary (before any of the environment is required). This config file however is no longer a shell script, so if MacPorts or Fink did additional manipulation, this may no longer work. > I diffed the two versions of setup-env and it looks like there is > another problem with the osx version.

But on to my original question: looking at the Quartz build environment, I notice that it provides its own launcher script that completely ignores the gnucash startup scripts (gnucash, gnucash-gdb,...). Does that mean that the quartz build doesn't use these at all ? In that case I could just as well eliminate those from the source as well.
