Josh is correct. The macro from legacy_macros.m4 turned out to be not legacy at all, but it is in fact needed a lot. To be more precise, the gcc/libc environment on Windows/mingw needs a different scanf() format character for LLD than what gcc needs on Linux. The test in legacy_macros.m4 checks exactly that. Hence, you need to copy the respective macro into your own application as well. On the other hand, the resulting format character itself is probably only needed inside the gnucash/gncqof implementation and doesn't have to be exposed to outside applications. Hence, in the long term this test probably should have to be done by your external application, and in gnucash this #ifdef check should be moved to an internal header file. Well, that's a long-term goal. Christian _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
