Thanks John,
What about building the xcode project, are there differences between the cmake command to do that between the two branches?

Hi People,
Thanks to John I was able to setup and build maint on my mac. I'm now trying
to setup and build master which I've pulled into src/gnucash-git

Can someone clarify these points:
- I imagine I need to edit jhbuildrc-cusom and change the branch to master.
Do I do that before any of the following?
- Do I need to re-run jhbuild bootstrap?
- Do I need to re-run jhbuild bootstrap-gtk-osx?
- Do I need to re-run jhbuild build? (assuming yes).

Jean,

You only need to reconfigure and rebuild gnucash. At this point all dependencies are the same 
between master and maint. I do that in a jhbuild shell because as I said elsewhere I build from 
the terminal prompt, so I want to make an edit and then run ninja && ninja check (or 
more often ninja test-target && bin/test-program, TDD and all that).

There's one cmake change between the two branches. In maint you set 
-DGTEST_ROOT=path/to/googletest/googletest -DGMOCK_ROOT=path/to/googletest/googlemock 
and in master you set only -DGTEST_ROOT=path/to/googletest. It works best to have a 
separate build directory and rm -rf * && cmake ... to switch branches.

One other thing, make sure you uninstall GnuCash beforehand, the maint and master 
libraries are incompatible and Guile will dlopen the installed libraries in 
preference to the ones in the build directory. ninja uninstall doesn't always 
work, so if it fails try xargs rm < install_manifest.txt. If *that* fails the 
`rm -r $PREFIX/lib/libgnc* $PREFIX/lib/gnucash` should be sufficient.

Regards,
John Ralls
