I tried to merge maint into master tonight. Although the merge seemed to be fairly easy, the result wouldn't build. I tried to figure out why, but eventually gave up. The problem exists in maint too, it won't build with guile2. There were a lot of changes to various Scheme files recently on maint and something broke building with guile2.

The first error I get is when it tries to compile app-utils/business-prefs.scm. It fails trying to load gncmod-backend-dbi and gncmod-backend-xml and then gives up because gnc:module-begin-syntax is unbound. I have no idea why this file should be loading those two backends. I managed to make it load gncmod-backend-xml ok, but nothing I did would make it load gncmod-backend-dbi. As far a I can tell no other Scheme file loads this. I also don't understand why gnc:module-begin-syntax is unbound. Even adding an explicit load-module call for gnc-module didn't get it bound and that module should already be loaded anyway.

The complete build log is below. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?

I got sort-of-similarly stuck a few weeks ago. The solution for me (I think, I tried a load of things) was to delete my build directory.

My possibly red-herring history:
gnc build env is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS running under VirtualBox
upgraded VBox from 4 to 5
next build of gnc broke as snipped below
which sent me off wandering thinking it was VirtualBox to blame

since then any guile stuff I've attempted hasn't worked (except for report changes which are OK).

Before reading Mike's posting I was working back through dependencies trying to work out why

make
make doc
make check # <-- this bit has gone strange
make install

wasn't doing what it used to.

the things that prompt me to write are the specificity of
ice-9
and the difference in OS, y'see I had thought from
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building
that this was a Debian OS family oddity.
