Hi, can someone please tell me how to go about installing gnucash 2.3 on a mac? I've looked online but the sources all seem too old to be useful for 2.3. Do I have to compile the source or can I do it through Macports and if yes to either of these, what steps should I take? Thanks! Intel Mac OSX 10.5.6 Macports Version: 1.710 - Reuben
There is a Macports port called gnucash-devel that appears to be intended for such attempts. However, the last update to that port was 7 months ago, before the database backend items were anywhere near as far as they are now. The gnucash-devel portfile would need some work to build 2.3.0. There are two sections in the file that can be used: one that points to svn, and the other that points to the 2.3.x tarballs. Now that there is a 2.3.0 tarball, you might get gnucash- devel to work by commenting out the svn info, uncommenting the tarball retrieval section, modifying config-params to enable libdbi stuff, and modifying the dependencies to make sure the appropriate database, libdbi drivers, and webkit are available.
I'm not in a position to try this soon. A while back I tried to have both fink and macports installed simultaneously, but I screwed something up and got them intertwined. Since then I've stuck to fink. I know it's possible to run both, but right now I don't have time to go there.
