Newbie: how to launch gnucash built from source ?

2005-04-29 Thread Geert Janssens
Hi, I'd like to import sales data from a self-developed inventory program (in Ms Access) into gnucash. (I mentioned this on IRC a while ago as well). As far as I can tell, I'll have to add some custom code to gnucash for this. In order to become more familiar with gnucash's internals, I

While gathering more info for my mini project to import sales info from acustom Access database,I came across a thread on this mailing list about qof_book_merge and qsf (qof serialization format). Since I can have my inventory program export it's sales info in qsf format in relatively short

Lot viewer GUI
