The documentation for the module system is in src/gnc-module/doc/design.txt. > Right now when I try my test program, I get the error: > > ** WARNING **: Failed to open module gnucash/business-core > > ** WARNING **: : could not locate gnucash/business-core interface v.0 > > I've got a libgncmod-business-core.* located in > src/business/business-core in the build tree.

If the directory containing it is in the GNC_MODULE_PATH, any .la file will be tested to see if it's a gnc-module and if so what the module name and version is. That warning indicates that there's no dlopenable .la file in the GNC_MODULE_PATH which publishes version 0 of the module "gnucash/business-core". That could be due to any of several problems. The most fundamental problems are that gnc_module_system_init either never tried to open your library, tried to open it via lt_dlopen() but lt_dlopen() failed, or opened it successfully but retrieved module name and version information not compatible with what you asked for. The library would never be opened if the dir containing the module is not in GNC_MODULE_PATH. lt_dlopen will fail to open it if there are unresolved symbols in .la library or dependent libraries are not in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Cut and paste errors could cause the gnc_module name and version information published by the module to be wrong. b.g. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
