The fact that FC5-extras has 1.9.100 is irrelavant. That's an unstable release. It's not even forward API-compatible with newer unstable releases. It also has some pretty serious bugs. You have to target a stable api - either 1.2 (FC5 also has 1.2.3) or the still-in-beta 2.0. IMO, 1.2 is not even worth looking at. As far as depending on a library version that's newer than our target distros... my advice is choose the best tool for the job. We know how to deal with the release engineering issues. -chris _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
