Re: [GNC] Cannot build GNUCash 5.10 for GNU/Linux

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 10:19:55 -0700 

Hi,
So I tried to build GnuCash-5.11 and I got the exact same issue. So I applied the changes for the gnc-quotes.cpp but I ended up with the exact same error. 

Below, the patch with gnc-quotes.cpp changes.

It is maybe related to Boost version 1.88.0 but maybe on something 
different.

I just did a successful build of v5.10 on Linux.  Ubuntu 24.10.

I'm doing this via git and checkout of 5.10.


Also successful was a build of the most recent set of updates via a 
git pull that gives me v5.11-3.

Hi Shifttag/GNUCash users,

Is there a specific reason that you are trying to build the 5.10 version
of GNUCash? The current version is 5.11 -
https://gnucash.org/download.phtml

Also, which Linux distro are you using?
https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity

Using the Flatpak of GNUCash
(https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnucash.GnuCash) might be an option, if
you are using a Linux distro that support Flatpak -
https://flatpak.org/setup/ & https://flathub.org/setup

I'm not having any error or warning before those issues. Do I missed 
a library ?
