Stephen,
When you want to use cmake, you no longer call configure. configure is part of
the autotools build system.
However, you're likely to run into the same kind of errors using cmake because
the environment is set up to always use install.sh to run builds.
The reason for this is each build dependency of gnucash gets installed in its
own directory (because the build system has no package management to manage
package installations). install.sh adds each dependency to the PATH variable
as it chugs along so that when it gets to actually building gnucash itself all
dependencies are found on the path. This part is missing when you run cmake/
configure manually.
Having said that, I believe you can also set up the build environment
correctly outside of install.sh using the devrc.sh script. It's usage is
explained in the file itself. I have never used it before, but I think others
have.
In short
- open an msys shell
- source devrc.sh in it (". /c/gcdev/devrc.sh")
- use configure/cmake/whatever as you normally would. But don't run install.sh
in this shell. It will probably fail.
Regards,
Geert
