Well, the first thought is don’t use that one, use setup-mingw64.ps1. The old 
mingw-classic scripts are for GnuCash 2.6 which has only a couple of releases 
left while the new mingw64 scripts (there are two more, 
buildserver/build_package.ps1 and bundle-mingw64.ps1) are for current and 
future development.

The second thought is that we discourage trying to actually develop on 
MSWindows. GnuCash is a Unix program that we port to windows and a Unix 
development environment is far more conducive to productive work. That might be 
less true if you're really fluent with mingw/mingw64/cygwin.

Third is that the mingw-classic script’s handling of parameters is annoyingly 
picky. It often takes me three or four tries to get right when I have to set up 
a new build environment. It does work when you finally figure out the right way 
to pass the parameters.

Reconciliation Report

[Rick Halvorson]

I have been asked to produce a printed Reconciliation Report each month after 
reconciling the checking account bank statement in the gnucash software. I have 
been unable to find such a report included. Can you help me find it if it is 
there and if not is it something that can be produced?

Thank you,
Rick H.

Building (or trying to) GnuCash on Windows

[Brian Davis]

I attempted to run the script at:

https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-windows

To create a build environment for GnuCash on Windows where it failed at:

This script is intended for people that wish to develop GnuCash on Windows
It will download and install the minimal set of tools
to run a first build of the GnuCash sources.
It will install
- mingw-get, an msys shell and wget in c:\gcdev\mingw
- git in c:\gcdev\git-1.9.4
- a gnucash-on-windows git repository cloned from
  git://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-windows.git
  into c:\gcdev\gnucash-on-windows.git

Also FYI "Pres" is spelled "Press" also when running script with command

Gives the impression that:

  For example to use c:\soft as base directory you can run this script as

is a complete lie as it still installs to c:\gcdev\

Re: gnucash-user Digest, Vol 176, Issue 58

[Ian McAllister]

A big thanks to everybody who tried to help me to recover from the 
crash. It's fixed!


The trouble is that I don't have a good enough memory for the 
half-million files on my hard drive.


I just spotted that I had two folders in my data folder (which doesn't 
get wiped each time that Windows crashes) for personal accounts and 
business accounts. All that I needed to do was to reinstall GnuCash then 
tell it to open file. Then I had to navigate to one of the two 
discovered folders and open the folder - not one of the files. Then I 
did the same with the other, and everything is set up again.


Now I've re-named the files with gnucash in the name which might help my 
memory - e.g. AccountsBusinessGnucash2017


Thanks for your help - I hated the idea of re-entering half a year of 
bookkeeping.

Thanks David,

I searched my backup disk, and found 473 instances of .gnucash but no
files with the right name, but without the .gcm at the end.

I suppose I'll just have to start with a new installation, and put in
data from my bank for five months.

Ian McAllister

If you have a copy of the windows registry in your backup, search it for
keys similar to "org.gnucash.history" file0 ... should contain the path
of your recent used data files.

Usually they should be in your home directory, but not in its .gnucash
directory.

Hi!

This is my first post to the list and I'm still figuring out where all
the different pieces of information should be addressed. I'm not sure
if there is a specific channel for the unstable version feedback, apart
from BugZilla.
I had a brief run of the 2.7.2 version of GnuCash on Windows 10. It
took a while to start the first time but everything went well there.
The application seems quicker and more responsive than 2.6.18 in
general.
One thing I noticed, though, is that no custom reports were available
in the Reports menu even though the settings were correctly copied to
the new location in the roaming profile folder.

Other than that, I'd like to thank you very much for this software
package. I've followed it for years but have only made the switch
recently. I'm still in the 

Re: Finance-Quote Price Issue

[blah]

I have a similar problem. I use F::Q to update currencies and a few ETFS that
trade on the LSE. Using Finance::Quote 1.47 my currencies update correctly
but the ETFS that trade on the LSE are updated with incorrect prices in the
wrong currencies. 
For example:
WDSC.L trades on the LSE in USD and is worth 71.05, however, F::Q fetches it
as GBP and assigns .7105 as the price. 
Similar to your problem only mine exists on the weekend and weekdays in and
out of trading hours

Is there a way to correct this? 

Blah
