John,
I have (with a little struggle) built the Mac code from git source, made my
trivial mod to line 622 of ~/gtk/source/gnucash-2.6.2/
src/app-utils/gnc-ui-util.c, rebuilt, and seen my change in the rebuilt
code (without a core dump). Hooray!
Should stupid how-do-I-build questions like this go to gnucash-devel or
gnucash-users lists? What's my limit? :)
