At some point I got the “refusing to switch to a dirty tree” error. I followed the instructions at https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2015-March/038616.html <https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2015-March/038616.html>
[git reset --hard HEAD] Hope that’s OK. Next thing I remember is Boost. That was almost impossible to check out. For whatever reason, it would abort somewhere between 2% and 92% of the way through the download. Then finally it worked. I followed the instructions on getting Boost to compile; at the instruction: for i in `ls $PREFIX/lib/libboost*`; do install_name_tool -id $i $i; done I encountered a long series of errors of the form: error: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/install_name_tool: input file: /Users/gnucashdev/gnucash-unstable/lib/libboost_atomic.a is not a Mach-O file error: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/install_name_tool: input file: /Users/gnucashdev/gnucash-unstable/lib/libboost_chrono.a is not a Mach-O file error: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/install_name_tool: input file: /Users/gnucashdev/gnucash-unstable/lib/libboost_container.a is not a Mach-O file error: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/install_name_tool: input file: /Users/gnucashdev/gnucash-unstable/lib/libboost_coroutine.a is not a Mach-O file I continued, but I do wonder whether that was OK. It did crash on the second ‘2’, as predicted, so I ran jhbuild build --start-at=googletest Which picked up from there. This failed in configure: checking for glib-networking (glib TLS implementation)... no configure: error: libsoup requires glib-networking for TLS support. If you are building a package, you can pass --disable-tls-check to allow building libsoup anyway (since glib-networking is not actually required at compile time), but you should be sure to add a runtime dependency on it. *** Error during phase configure of libsoup: ########## Error running ./configure --prefix /Users/gnucashdev/gnucash-unstable set_more_warnings=no *** [6/8] I think it’s getting close... > On Feb 1, 2018, at 10:12 AM, John Ralls <jra...@ceridwen.us> wrote: > > You didn’t build gtk-doc and Pango requires at least the macros for it. > > As to your question, it depends.
