Hi,
I am trying to build GnuCash 4.11 from source on macOS 12.6 (M1 CPU),
following the instructions at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOS/Quartz .
I have finished the preliminaries, so I appear to have jhbuild running. I
encounter difficulty with the command:
jhbuild bootstrap-gtk-osx
It throws a succession of Python KeyErrors, looking for environment variables
PREFIX, CXXFLAGS, and I assume CC and CFLAGS as well. For instance
% jhbuild bootstrap-gtk-osx
Loading .env environment variables...

The wiki page MacOS/Quartz does not mention these environment variables.
Where are they described? What values should I assign for them? I would
appreciate a link to whatever page I should read next.
Jim,
Sorry.
There were a couple of mistakes in gnucash-on-osx/jhbuild-custom. I just pushed
a commit to fix them. With that in place, the build will default to
$HOME/gnucash with subdirectories src, build, and inst, the latter being short
for install. You can override that by setting PREFIX in the environment, e.g.
PREFIX=$HOME/mygnucashbuild/ and jhbuild will create the subdirectories.
I've updated the wiki page to reflect the current layout.
Thank you, John!
Those changes to gnucash-on-osx/jhbuild-custom seem to have been
effective. The build process is now busily filling my screen with build
chatter.
I found what looks like a very low-severity typo in a message which
jhbuild-custom prints to stdout. I propose a correction with
<https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-osx/pull/22> . I think it is not
urgent.
Best regards,
