Herbert, gcc 8 is the minimum required since 2019: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/commit/e4bbf7257f6555808ffbac85e446ed0cb53c6015
According to https://software.opensuse.org/package/gcc there's no official gcc package for leap 15.4, but there are three community builds of gcc 12 and an experimental build of gcc 13. Under the heading "Unsupported distributions The following distributions are not officially supported. Use these packages at your own risk." it lists official releases and updates for gcc 7 under Leap 15.0, 15.1, and 15.2... so I guess building software isn't a supported activity on openSuSE. Maybe you should consider a different distro. In case you insist on using this obsolete compiler, I found an old Ubuntu 18.04 VM that has gcc 7.5 and built GnuCash all the way through. Although the static char* empty is easy to fix (and is actually wrong for a different reason), the next problem in gcc 7.5 is gnucash/gnome/dialog-report-column-view.cpp:533:29: error: unused variable ‘id’ [-Werror=unused-variable] auto [id, wide, high] = r->contents_list[r->contents_selected]; and the correct work-around (since 8 and later recognize that unless an rv is marked no discard in the function decl that it's normal to not use all of the values returned in a structured binding) of marking the decl with [[maybe_unused]] doesn't work: gnucash/gnome/dialog-report-column-view.cpp:533:46: error: unused variable ‘id’ [-Werror=unused-variable] [[maybe_unused]] auto [id, wide, high] = ^ so to get it to build on gcc 7 one must --- a/gnucash/gnome/dialog-report-column-view.cpp +++ b/gnucash/gnome/dialog-report-column-view.cpp @@ -530,7 +530,11 @@ gnc_column_view_edit_size_cb(GtkButton * button, gpointer user_data) if (r->contents_list.size() > static_cast<size_t>(r->contents_selected)) { - auto [id, wide, high] = r->contents_list[r->contents_selected]; +#pragma GCC diagnostic push +#pragma GCC diagnostic warning "-Wunused-variable" + [[maybe_unused]] auto [id, wide, high] = + r->contents_list[r->contents_selected]; +#pragma GCC diagnostic pop gtk_spin_button_set_value(GTK_SPIN_BUTTON(colspin), static_cast<float>(wide)); I'm not willing to do that to support a compiler that we said we don't 4 years ago, but the beauty of free software is that you can patch your own repo. Once it all builds it fails a test: /home/john/gnucash-git/libgnucash/engine/test/test-gnc-guid.cpp:82: Failure Value of: fail Actual: false Expected: true Parsing the bogus string should throw That's not good, it means that passing an invalid string to create a GUID will generate bogus output instead of signaling an error. I don't know why it's not throwing and I'm not sufficiently motivated to debug it. IMO it's far safer to upgrade to a more up-to-date compiler.
