OK, I tried to build ledger from git
- I am on debian squeeze:
$ git clone git://github.com/jwiegley/ledger.git
$ cd ledger
next step is to run
$ ./acprep
I actually prefer to run
$ ./acprep -- --prefix=/opt/ledger
i. e. with a --prefix for configure
in order for this ./acprep... (which includes the configure step)
to succeed, I had to install some packages:
# aptitude install libmpfr-dev
# aptitude install libboost-regex-dev
# aptitude install libboost-date-time-dev
# aptitude install libboost-filesystem-dev
(libpcre3-dev was already installed on my system,
necessary to build ledger at least in the past)
now, the above $ ./acprep -- --prefix=/opt/ledger
runs through without complaining
however:
$ make
cp -p src/system.hh.in system.hh
g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. \
-I./src -I./lib -I./lib/utfcpp/source -isystem /usr/local/include

-o system.hh.gch system.hh
system.hh:134:18: error: utf8.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
make: *** [system.hh.gch] Fehler 1
$
(sorry, this is german, roughly: utf.h: file or dir not found, error 1)
OK, was able to fix this one, utf8.h lives in my /usr/include/unicode
$ cd src
$ ln -s /usr/include/unicode/utf8.h .
$ cd ..
now make gets me further, however doesn't succeed completely:
$ make
...

hm, now what? - slightly confused.
