Hi
I have downloaded version 2.2.9 source
http://www.gnucash.org/pub/gnucash/sources/stable/gnucash-2.2.9.tar.gz
and it seems to be missing autogen.sh. When I browse the svn source
archive autogen.sh is there for that tag.
autogen isn't required in the tar.gz file. it already contains
a working configure script.
So the downloadable source tar is not the same files as the svn
version with the same tag? Are there any other differences?
Of course not!! Absolutely! It contains lots of preprocessed data,
like swig-generated files, pre-processed localization files, etc.
So should I just be able to run configure (with my options) then make?
Absolutely!!
tar -xzf
cd ...
./configure --prefix=/opt/gnucash
make
sudo make install
I thought I did this and I got errors, something about m4. I picked
up autogen from 2.3.5, ran that and then configure again and now make
is running happily. I will repeat the exercise just to be certain
that is what I did.
You'll only get m4 issues if you somehow modified a Makefile... But if
you just take the gnucash tarball you wont need any autotools installed.
