I'll give it a try. From reading it, after I've modified some piece of code that needs to compile, like a .c file, I believe I would just do the following, right? No separate "make install" step anymore because make_install.sh does it for me. cd /c/soft/gnucash/build (assuming that's my build directory) make /c/soft/packaging/make_install.sh (assuming that's where I've installed all the packaging scripts) -Charles -- andi5 > _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
