The first major obstacle is that Slackware 10.2 no longer includes any version of gnome whatsoever. To address this, I simply installed the entire Slackware 10.0 gnome series. (There are a couple of other gnome series that are available for Slackware.) When I had to reboot the computer, it came up with the gnome desktop. I did not test this further, but changed the startup script to once again start kdm rather than gdm. Then, it became a matter of trying to configure gnucash. My configure looks like: ./configure --enable-opt-style-install --prefix=/opt/gnucash-svn$rev --enable-debug --enable-error-on-warning --enable-compile-warnings Other options to congfigure may, of course, require other prerequisites that I did not discover. (The "$rev" comes from my build script, and is replaced with the current SVN revision number.) At this point, it was a matter of running configure and letting it tell me what was needed. -upgraded to gtkhtml version 3.8.2 -libgnomecups version 0.2.2 was installed because libgnomeprint 2.8.2 required it. - libgnomeprint was upgraded to version 2.8.2. Slackware's (from 10.0) was too old. - installed libgnomeprintui (I'm not sure why, but this wasn't installed when I installed the Slackware 10.0 gnome series! In any case, the version would have been too old.) -installed slib version 2d6. For this I followed the instructions at http://rjmarq.org/gnucash.html (Note that configure does not check for the presence of slib. When the build broke, I discovered I did not have it installed.) gnucash has to be run as root once or you will get an error regarding an slib file. It claims to be missing, when it exists. Running once as root fixes this. Hope this is helpful, Mark |
