Phil,
We could install a FreeBSD VM.
We could install a Solaris (x86) VM if someone provided the license
(at least I'm pretty sure it's non-free).
Unfortunately right now there just isn't a good way to easily provide
user access to the VM Management Interface or Console. I need to
work on that -- right now only I can access the VM Consoles, but
for this kind of work I suspect we'd want to have the VMs mostly
offline (I don't want to have to worry about the security of these
VMs so I dont want them to be ssh-able from the net).

Quoting Phil Longstaff <plongst...@rogers.com>:
What about freebsd or solaris? I know people have gotten gnucash to
work on them, but what do we officially support?

One further thought: can MacOS run in a VM on linux or windows? I
did the original webkitgtk work on ubuntu 8.10 using webkitgtk 1.0.1.
On windows, I've been trying to work with the latest webkitgtk
source (1.1.14) but have run into the same libsoup and other problems
that Herbert has. I don't have a mac, so I can't try a macos build.

I've never looked into the issue. Is there a build farm we can use
with different versions of linux distros so that we can check the
build and limitations? Otherwise, we're limited by what developers
and testers have. I suppose VMs could help with this.

That's the one combination I wasn't able to test (gtkhtml that

gtkprint). What platform are you on?
SuSE 10.3 (x86_64).
What version of gnome, gtk, and gnome-print do you have?
pkg-config --modversion libgnome-2.0
2.16.0
pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0
2.10.6
pkg-config --modversion libgnomeprint-2.2
2.12.1
Ah, yeah, Fedora-7 era GnomePrint (pre GtkPrint) libraries.
As we're in the process of moving completely to Webkit (at least
I hope that's the goal) I think it's /probably/ safe to ignore
these old libraries.
Well SuSE may be a bit slow on the gnome side. This distro is only about
one year old.
I revoke my statement. This coputer is still on SuSE 10.2 and the support
period for this distro has ended ...
Ahh, yeah, like I said, Fedora-7 era. I'm not sure offhand what version
of Gnome Fedora-8 or 9 has, but I would hope that we should support any
distros that were released by, say, May 1, 2008.
My only concern is going to be RHEL/CentOS. The most recent
release/update (5.3) probably still has a relatively old Gnome/Gtk. But
then again RHEL5 is old enough that it doesn't fall into the May 1, 2008
release-by date. So I honestly don't think I care that much about it.
GnuCash 2.2 works there just fine, and someone could backport the
dependencies if they really want to run bleeding-edge gnucash.
So I think we should target Fedora 9 and equivalent Ubuntu and SuSE
releases from early 2008.
