Hi Mark, thanks for your message. I was thinking of compiling a new
gcc but want to exhaust the options with the built in 4.0.1 complier
first since it is less work. There is an issue with the built-in
autoconf. I'll need a new autoconf to recognize the new version of
libtool properly. The version of libtool apple puts on the system is
old and I believe is the source of the problem. Can you tell me what
version of autoconf, automake and libtool are on your system. Would
really appreciate this.
The two ./acprep stages I do first allows me to use autogen directly
with configure. They get the other bits needed for the compile. ./
acprep update is a 'do it all for you' script. The parameters are not
right for my locations so have chosen to use configure for control. In
fact I had modified the acprep script for the stock compiler and
locations in some of my initial attempts a few days ago. Its sort of
an all or nothing approach with macports because I use /opt/local for
my own builds and macports would want to use this as well. Its
comforting to know that the macports solution works since it means I
ought to be able to eliminate the blockers to successfully compiling
without it. Many thanks.
Regards,
David

David. I might have some good news for you. I think there's a problem
with Apple's gcc, so maybe use one from Macports.
I did
sudo port install boost +python25+st gmp mpfr gettext libedit \
cppunit texlive doxygen graphviz texinfo lcov \
sloccount pcre libofx expat gcc43
I'm not sure that gcc43 is strictly necessary, though.
Ensure that Apple's gcc isn't being used:
if [ -f /usr/bin/gcc ] ; then mv /usr/bin/gcc.ori ; fi
Start a new shell, just to be sure.
Then I did
git clone ledger temp
This should create a vanilla build directory.
Now do
./acprep update
This now builds successfully for me. I can do
./ledger
for deep accounting joy :)
Let me know how how you get on.
Regards,
Mark.
