Thanks! You made me a fisherman. ./configure has now completed. The cmake instructions talked about optional switches like python. I didn't see anything like that mentioned in the output from configure. have I missed something? On Mon, Sep 3, 2018 at 11:57 PM Geert Janssens wrote: > Op maandag

Indeed, 2.6.12 is early enough that CMakeLists.txt wasn’t distributed in the tarball though it’s available if you clone the git repository. I don’t remember if we’d tested it enough at that point to be able to reliably build so you’re much better off using configure. Having gtk+-2.0 isn’t

I did read the guidance initially, but not thoroughly. I have gone back to following the specific guidance; installed all of the required packages. Tried the suggested cmake with a build directory not under the source directory. Received the error message CMake Error: The source directory

No, I meant libglib2.0-dev (I had a dash too much in my reply). And in fact that's also what's on the wiki page Stephen pointed you at. Did you read that page and follow the instructions ? Regards, Geert Op vrijdag 31 augustus 2018 23:25:39 CEST schreef Paul Schwartz: > apt complains that it

apt complains that it can't find libglib-2.0-dev. Did you mean glib-2.0-dev? That was installed. Going to try a reboot just in case. Paul On Fri, Aug 31, 2018 at 1:11 PM Stephen M. Butler wrote: > First -- be sure to cc the user group (gnucash-user@gnucash.org) so that > others can jump in and

First -- be sure to cc the user group (gnucash-user@gnucash.org) so that others can jump in and help. Second -- I presume you have looked at this page https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/BuildUbuntu16.04   It has the entire list for building on 18.04.  I know it says 16.04 but it also works for 18.04

The reason for using 2.6.12 is that it generates the balance sheet correctly; 2.6.19 does not. The only message generated is the long one posted above. All of my messing with PKG_CONFIG_PATH did nothing. Paul On Fri, Aug 31, 2018 at 12:16 PM Geert Janssens wrote: > Op vrijdag 31 augustus 2018
