Re: Building 2.6.19 on Ubuntu Xenial

Just an additional comment Adrien, ./configure usually checks all the dependencies. First time I compiled gnucash from sources I just reran ./configure installing any packages it flagged as missing. i've just recompiled 2.6.19 on Linux Mint 18.3 (Ubuntu 16.04 derivative updated to Linux kernel

Re: Building 2.6.19 on Ubuntu Xenial

Hi Adrien, See this page (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ubuntu) from the website for installing on Ubuntu. There is also a link at the bottom of the page for building Gnucash on Ubuntu (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building#Ubuntu) but as you observed it has the dependency list for 2.8. There

Adrien, I found Release 2.6.17 backported to Ubuntu 16.04 (and 17.04). in the Getdeb repo. That was good enough for me. David C On Mon, Feb 26, 2018 at 5:49 PM, Adrien Monteleone < adrien.montele...@gmail.com> wrote: > I’m setting up an Ubuntu Xenial machine for a family member and I’d like >

Building 2.6.19 on Ubuntu Xenial

I’m setting up an Ubuntu Xenial machine for a family member and I’d like to put Gnucash on it. The Xenial repos are dated to 2.6.12, a bit too stale. I’d like to put 2.6.19 on it, but the instructions on the wiki are for 2.8(3.0) and I don’t know if these are still valid for the 2.6 series.

Re: Lost my file

Anita, You need to start by going to a full backup. Either pick one that you made when you did your last full computer backup (you do make backup s, right?) or pick the last one that GnuCash made with the long number embedded in the file name. Then you can first save that file with a temporary

Comments on 2.7.5

Don't see many comments about the new versions so here are a few. Since 2.7.4 I forgot how to do cmake, but wrote the process down this time. In 2.7.4, on linux mint 18.3, using sqlite3 didn't seem to work; now it does with the 2.7.5 version. In 2.7.4 I thought tax item markings got lost but

OT: fedora, linux and 32 bit software was Re: variable scheduled date

A lot of us still have old 32 bit machines that have not died yet, but on the other hand today there are many good 64 bit machines available for about $300 to $400. They have really crappy keyboards, no optical drive and other shortcomings but fairly decent displays and performance. You could

Re: variable scheduled date

Sounds to me like Jean-David is looking for something like a flatpack or snap...a complete self-contained installable that brings it's dependencies with it and runs in a sandbox or other self-contained userspace. But, RHEL 6 doesn't support flatpack or snaps so that's not a solution, either.

Re: variable scheduled date

How could I forget about servers? True, 10 year stability is a plus for that case. As for keeping computers that long, my laptop is a 2007 model.(to be fair, it’s a Mac and not relevant to the distro choice issue) Various family members have a smattering of desktops from the very early 2000s,

Re: General Ledger

The reference I have distinguishes journal from ledger based on entry time and purpose. A journal is a historical record of first entry of complete transactions (splits, notes, etc.). A ledger is a final or secondary record of changes to an account. The term general journal seems to have two

Re: General Ledger

Everyone is correct. It’s a matter of perspective. I too was taught ‘General Journal’. The ‘Ledger’ was step 2. But our textbooks, and likely the focus of any accounting class, were primarily for *business* and from the perspective of a larger corporation or what we would distinguish today as

RE: General Ledger

I never majored in accounting but I can still remember "General Journal" being a standard term often used in Canadian high school accounting about 50 years ago. Recently I picked up an Ontario, Canada bookkeeping text book from 1882. It makes a distinction between what are called "Day Books,
