gnome, gwen and aqb, so I think I need to start over with a clean
tree). Unfortunately the 2.4 build bombed on gwen with an error that
I don't immediately understand.
I'm not likely to have time to dig into that today, so if you can fix
the gwen error, great. Otherwise, I think you should revert your
change to custom.sh yesterday (so that it goes back to aqb4) and
we'll see what happens on tonight's build.
If we have to bump guile to 1.8, that should still be OK. 2.4 does
work with 1.8, that's what ships on OSX.

The gwenhywfar bomb was actually a mingw build failure. However, when
install.sh fails, dist.sh is started immediately without any check if
install.sh finished successfully. (The windows build system really is
that ugly).
Since gwen isn't built yet, dist.sh fails in copying its files.
I think mingw fails because the old directory was still around. To fix
this, I have chosen to run reset.sh first in order to get a clean
build environment and have manually started a 2.4 build. We'll see
what the result will be now.
Regarding the guile update: if it were only the guile package that had
to be replaced it would be no problem. However, I never managed to
build the slib library for guile 1.8 on windows. So in trunk I have
applied a series of patches (once provided by Andy Wingo) to eliminate
slib. So updating guile on the 2.4 branch means we also have to apply
this set of patches to GnuCash 2.4. Is that ok for the stable branch ?

Hmm, as I expected, the 2.4 build failed on guile. I don't have time
tonight anymore and I would like to hear other's opinions on my earlier
question before I want to go forward with this anyway.
Is it ok/worth it to apply all the guile 1.8 patches in GnuCash 2.4 (not
only in the windows build system) in order to get the 2.4 build on
windows working with aqbanking 5 ?
For reference most of these patches were applied to the trunk branch
right after 2.4 was branched.
