Re: [GNC] 5.4 build on linux
Mike The wiki is working from Australia. relevant page is https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux. I built 5.4 on Linux Mint Victoria on Tuesday with no problems.It is much easier and generally quicker using cmake and ninja. sudo apt-get install cmake sudo apt-get install ninja will install them. The following commands in a terminal opened at the unpacked gnucash-5.4 directory will usually build it and install it for use by all users. The cmake output will tell you if any dependencies are missing. mkdir build cd build cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local _DWITH_PYTHON=ON ../ ninja sudo ninja install David Cousens On Mon, 2023-09-25 at 15:10 -0700, Mike Commissaris wrote: > Downloaded the file from both Sourceforge and Git and when I tried to build > I failed with: > make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

Re: [GNC] 5.4 build on linux
Mike,
I'm running Ubuntu 23.04. In my GnuCash folder I have a sub-folder
called gnucash that is a git clone. From that folder I do a git pull
and git describe so I know what the latest is.
Then I run a script in the GnuCash folder called build-gnucash that is
listed below. That generates a folder called Build-gnucash_5.4-8 (so
the 8th patch since 5.4). It built clean. So now I go into the old
Build-gnucash-5.3-12 folder and do a sudo make uninstall. Move to the
Build-gnucash_5.4-8 folder and do a sudo make install. Upgrade completed.
After a few days in 5.4-8 I'll remove the 5.3-12 folder. But it is
there in case I need to fall back
Here is the script that sits in the GnuCash folder.
#!/bin/bash
#
# build-gnucash
#
# NOte: do a git pull followed by git checkout of version desired
before starting script
cd $HOME/Projects/GnuCash/gnucash
GITVER=$(git describe)
MYVER=${GITVER%-*}
MYRPR=Build-gnucash_${MYVER}
echo $MYVER
cd ..
rm -rf $MYRPR > /dev/null
mkdir $MYRPR
cd $MYRPR
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ../gnucash
make
echo ## sudo make install
--Steve
