Hello again,
Well, thanks to the help from this list, I succeeded compiling gnucash/cvs
on Caldera 2.3.
I didn't mess with eperl since the tar.gz package I found didn't compile,
plus this package dependency is supposed to disappear, right?
Other packages in tar.gz format I had to install (in /usr/local) were:
guile-1.3
swig-1.1p5
nana-2.3
After this I needed to edit /etc/ld.so.conf for the new shared libs in
/usr/local/lib and do ldconfig.
Then I needed to install libtool (got this one from w3.org). But first:
ln -s /usr/bin/install-info /sbin/install-info (needed by libtool-1.3.4)
still rpm -ivh --test libtool-1.3.4-1.noarch.rpm compliained of failed
dependency (/sbin/install-info is needed by libtool-1.3.4-1), so I did:
rpm -ivh --nodeps libtool-1.3.4-1.noarch.rpm
Everything seemed to be fine with libtool afterward.
Then, on to the gnome libs. All these RPMs are needed, in this order or
dependencies will fail. I got them from www.gnome.org. There's a page
specifically for Caldera systems. The original goal was just gnome-libs
and gnome-print, but as you can see there's always more...
RPM that needed to be installed Required by:
rpm -ivh gnome-audio-1.0.0-6.i386.rpm gnome-libs
rpm -ivh libungif-4.1.0-2.i386.rpm imlib -> gnome-libs
rpm -ivh imlib-1.9.7-1.i386.rpm gnome-libs
rpm -ivh audiofile-0.1.9-1.i386.rpm esound -> gnome-libs
rpm -ivh esound-0.2.15-1.i386.rpm gnome-libs
rpm -ivh ORBit-0.5.0-1.i386.rpm gnome-libs
rpm -ivh gnome-libs-1.0.53-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh libxml-1.7.3-1.i386.rpm gnome-print
rpm -ivh chkfontpath-1.4.1-1.i386.rpm urw-fonts -> gnome-print
rpm -ivh urw-fonts-1.1-8.i386.rpm gnome-print
got "sh: /sbin/pidof: no such file or directory" on this one but it
apparently installed ok.
rpm -ivh gnome-print-0.9-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh audiofile-0.1.9-1.i386.rpm esound-devel -> gnome-libs-devel
rpm -ivh esound-devel-0.2.15-1.i386.rpm gnome-libs-devel
rpm -ivh libungif-devel-4.1.0-2.i386.rpm imlib-devel -> gnome-libs-devel
rpm -ivh imlib-devel-1.9.7-1.i386.rpm gnome-libs
rpm -ivh ORBit-devel-0.5.0-1.i386.rpm gnome-libs
rpm -ivh gnome-libs-devel-1.0.53-1.i386.rpm
This is the minimal set of the 100 or so gnome RPMs in the Caldera section
at www.gnome.org that are needed to build gnucash.
So I finally could configure and compile gnucash/cvs. (make gnome)
But then, at runtime I got the dreaded slib message. Just a few days ago
there were a few messages about slib that I didn't save then because at the
time slib was not a problem. Now I try to check the list archives at
gnucash.org and even though it says they're updated every 24 hours, there is
nothing for december 99 and this month. So I'm stuck.
I did find and downloaded slib2c7.zip, but what am I supposed to do with it?
The minimal documentation says to use the makefile that comes with it but I
don't even have scheme.
Neither Caldera 2.3 nor Red Hat 6.0 come with any of the various schemes that
are apparently necessary to make slib. Do I have to go off and get a
complete scheme system too? Or do I just copy the *.scm files to some
directory? If so shouldn't configure catch this? Or did something else
go wrong?
Anyway, it seems I'm almost there. Any hints about slib would be most welcome.
Thanks.
