[Fink-users] Gnucash dependencies [Was: Re: Gnucash2 - OFX import]
I just installed libofx3 on my Intel Mac, everything went fine, no errors. Then, I wanted to install gnucash, but the immense list of dependencies kept me from hitting Y - 111 packages, not counting libofx3 and its five dependencies. Well, if they are necessary, ok, but I'm wondering about the purpose of some of them. What is QT doing there, for example? Also, there are a lot of perl modules, although gnucash doesn't use it, or am I mistaken here? Cheers, Thomas - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

The perl modules are required for retrieving stock quotes. The primary one being finance-quote. Four of the others are direct dependencies of finance-quote, and the other is a module used by one of the 'helper' apps that gnucash uses to arbitrate between f-q and gnucash. Perhaps the weirdest dependency is that gnucash2 requires both glib2 and glib. The glib dependency is dragged in by g-wrap. I tried a patch that some other distributions use to make g-wrap build against glib2, but something didn't work right, so I left g-wrap alone. The g- wrap dependency will go away with gnucash 2.2. Another thing that may happen once you agree to the monster list of dependencies is that sometimes fink's dependency engine gets confused, and the install process stops part way through with an error. Usually you can just 'fink install gnucash2' again and it will progress from the place where trouble began. On occasion, you might have to install separately whichever package the install error occurred in, then install gnucash2. Good luck.

I didn't take on the maintainership of g-wrap because 1.3.4 works (as long as --disable-error-on-warning is used to build gnucash), and gnucash has switched to swig instead of g-wrap. Swig is only required for builds from svn -- builds from tarballs (gnucash 2.2 and higher) will need neither swig nor g-wrap. I did have a package in tracker for g-wrap 1.9.6 several months ago, but bmaret figured out how to get 1.3.4 to work. If necessary, I could try the glib2 patch on 1.9.6 again if leopard presents a problem. I'm pretty sure 1.9.7 will be much harder to harmonize.

Just wasn't sure the situation there...that None maintainer is kinda slackish about keeping his packages up-to-date. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
