Tax season is over , now back to the original problem of having on 3.7 version on my LM 19.2 box and by necessity, a Windows 10 box. I reviewed all of David Cousens notes and suggestions. I spent any series of hours spanning days, rooting out all known locations where gnucash may have been installed via snynaptic, flatpak, stickylife ppa or deb installer. They were spread around. Today I felt accomplished enough with the cleanup/purge that I got a fresh fresh download of ver 3.7 and followed the procedure outline by David. This time I went for an install in the /usr/local locations and basically followed his procedures to the letter. I used his dependency script also because I noted a number of dependencies that are not on the “official website dependencies”. One small change to the script I made was that that I found LM 19.2 does not recognize “libsecret-1-0-dev”. In the snynaptic, I found the whole sequence for the libsecret goup and just select to manually installed libsecret-1-dev. I setup the build directories and ran it in the latest cmake version available. This time round I used the Kitware ppa (developers of cmake) and allowed two updates in the last month without any errors. I felt I had a good installer this time.
Cmake did compile and “make file” with absolutely no errors showing whatsoever. Thought I had a winner, but alas, fired up the executable via the terminal I got a pile of errors and I was back to the force close action I had a month ago. I’ve attached a Gdb debug error message. The trace fie did not work there was nothing in the file The full error msg ran for over 10 pages – I have to assume the same error was running over and over. In the Debug, shows errors just as soon as the program was booting up. In essence there were about 10 pages of errors all relating to “bad header in object file”, ie in the C files an object library is not working correctly. The trace at the end of the file initially contained a host of issues with guile2.0. So I tried to add guile 2.2 libraries to this with its GoObjects libraries – still no joy and no change in error code. There are a number of honorable mentions in the file that contain words like “gnome util, libgtk-3, libobjects-2”, etc. I’m going to try to put this up on the bugzilla also to see what the developers have to say about it. Incidentally as to the original inquiry about the transportability of QIF importing from Win 10 ver 3.7 back to Linuxmint ver 2.19, all was well. Error rate was minor, about 5 corrections per 1000 transactions. Editing was OK in the ver 2.19 and the file trip back to the Win 10 ver 3.7 for reporting purposes came off without a hitch. I've uploaded the debug below - hopefully it make its.
