Dear all, I am a long time user of gnucash and a first time poster on this forum. I find myself stuck between versions. On my desktop (Ubuntu 16.04) I am running gnucash 2.6.17. On my phone I am running the mobile version. I keep the mobile version up to date with whatever the latest version is.
I have been recording transactions on my mobile phone since about December 2017 and thought it would be a good idea to now import these into my desktop. Prior to December 2017, I had run some tests and everything worked fine: I could export a QIF file on the phone and import that into an existing gnucash file on my desktop. The transactions that I created via the phone app would simply be added to the transactions that existed on the desktop version. When I now come to import the QIF file, I get a message saying "An error occurred while loading the QIF file", followed by the message "A bug was detected while parsing the QIF file". I have tried to export my transactions using CSV format, but the import does not work either. After Googling around a bit, I learned that the import function (for CSV) does not work (properly) in version 2.6 and below. I found that the QIF files I had created during my tests prior to December 2017 are in plain text format, while the QIF file I created today seems to be binary. As such, I thought to upgrade my desktop version to the latest stable (3.2). It seems to be quite a process to get that upgraded, but I followed the instructions outlined here https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/BuildUbuntu16.04 to the letter. Unfortunately, when I reach the end, I run the command: and that crashes with an error. See: https://pastebin.com/LPe9i6Em The content of the cmake output file is here: https://pastebin.com/1s4jEUzG Where do I go from here? How can I get my transactions for the last 8 months added to the existing transactions on my gnucash desktop version?
