Hi, We would certainly welcome an aqua port, however it's a LOT of work. The majority of code in GnuCash is the UI, written in Gtk/Gnome. So you would either have to port that, or fine a "gnome shim layer".
I'm surprised you consider "fink install gnucash" to be "no small task". However I agree that it could be made simpler. Patches would be gladly accepted, but honestly I think this would entail more work that you want to do. -derek Douglas Harvey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hello. > > First off, I wanted to congratulate all of you on the state of gnucash > as it exists right now.
