msys/mingw finally fixed a bug that was preventing me from building gnc from source (see <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.user/28356/focus=28594>).
packaging/win32/install.sh does not work without several changes. The URLs for libxslt, gwenhywfar, and aqbanking all appear to be dead. The following substitute URLs appeared to work, though: LIBXSLT_URL="http://xmlsoft.org/sources/win32/oldreleases/libxslt-1.1.19.win32.zip" GWENHYWFAR_URL="http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/distfiles/gwenhywfar-3.4.1.tar.gz" AQBANKING_URL="http://www2.aquamaniac.de/sites/download/download.php?package=03&release=17&file=01&dummy=aqbanking-3.7.2.tar.gz" I also eventually gave up on building aqbanking with QT so set AQBANKING_WITH_QT to 'no'; but install.sh attempts to build aqbanking with backend 'aqdtaus', which no longer exists as a separate backend in the version of aqbanking specified in install.sh. I got around this by substituting "all" for the list of backends previously specified in install.sh (aqdtaus, aqhbci, aqofxconnect). htmlhelper had to be manually installed into c:\soft\hh; a more recent version was already installed in the default location on my machine (under c:\program files), which the installer did not pick up on. I couldn't figure out any work around other than to just copy C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop to c:\soft\hh. I also had to manually copy several DLLs to get xmlmerge.exe to work in the build process; I had to copy those same DLLs to the gnc bin installation folder to get gnc to run once it was built. So after a full day of churning, I finally had a successful build from svn. Well, almost. gnc runs to the point of showing the tip of the day and the splash screen, but then dies silently. Here is the log: * WARN <gnc.module> Failed to dlopen() 'c:\soft\gnucash\inst\lib\gnucash\libgncmod-aqbanking.dll': The specified module could not be found. * WARN <qof.engine> [guid_init()] only got 2148 bytes. The identifiers might not be very random. * WARN <gnc.engine> failed to load gncmod-backend-dbi from C:\Program Files\gnucash\lib\gnucash * CRIT <gnc.engine> required library gncmod-backend-dbi not found. * WARN <gnc.engine> failed to load gncmod-backend-xml from C:\Program Files\gnucash\lib\gnucash * CRIT <gnc.engine> required library gncmod-backend-xml not found. * CRIT <gnc.gui> [gnc_gnome_locate_data_file()] Could not locate file ui/gnc-plugin-csv-ui.xml * WARN <gnc.module> Initialization failed for module gnucash/business-core-xml * WARN <gnc.module> Initialization failed for module gnucash/business-core-sql * WARN <gnc.bin> GnuCash engine failed to initialize. Exiting. So I still can't run gnc svn (which I'm trying to do to test out the fix to bug #426111), but I thought I'd pass this all along in case it helps improve the build process. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
