I must say at the outset that I am completely new to MacPorts so don't listen to me, listen to Olaf instead! But I think that between this thread and the original post from Olaf you can figure it out: http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2008-October/012075.html By the way, I would not really use this with your data yet. Who knows if it will work properly (maybe). Also I have not tested the quote downloading yet, sorry. All I have really done is start GnuCash successfully. Ultimately we might be able to make a .app for GnuCash, which it looks like Olaf is already trying. -Charles > Thanks > Hilary > > On 8 Nov 2008, at 6:26 AM, Charles Day wrote: > > On Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 1:12 PM, Charles Day <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> On Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 10:34 AM, Olaf Foellinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> * Charles Day <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [04.11.08 09:20]wrote: >>> >>> > Greetings, >>> > >>> > I am one of the GnuCash developers, so I read with some excitement >>> Olaf >>> > Foellinger's report that he was able to build GnuCash without X11. >>> If I >>> >>> :).
