Thanks I've copied this macros in my project and it now compiles. > 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.

Why is a long-term goal? Is it represent too much work? When will GC clean up this issues to make easy other applications to use its data, may be to 2.4 or 3.0? -- Trabajar, la mejor arma para tu superación "de grano en grano, se hace la arena" (R) (entrámite, pero para los cuates: LIBRE) _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
