That will create a ready-to-run instance of GnuCash in gnucash/dist/bin and shouldn't have any path issues. Regards, John Ralls Let me state what I am trying to do. I wish to debug a gnucash executable after modifying gnucash source code, building it, installing it and running it. After running dist.sh I get this ------------------------------------------------- ############################################################ ### GnuCash ############################################################ cp: cannot stat `/c/gcdev/gnucash/inst/lib/lib*.la': No such file or directory GNUCash@Ace /c/gcdev/gnucash-on-windows.git -------------------------------------------------------------- Where do I run install.sh from? PS I am still trying to get Windows live mail to quote properly.
