I created a fresh VM using ubuntu 21.04, minimal install with no gnucash installed.
$ sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash $ git clone https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash.git $ cd gnucash $ git reset --hard 4.6 $ mkdir ../build && cd ../build $ cmake ../gnucash $ make -j8 $ ./bin/gnucash the resulting gnucash produced blank charts. tables are visible when enabled. > No, that switches only the libgnc*.so libs in lib/gnucash. There are > others in lib/. > > You cannot build GnuCash with an installed GnuCash. You must `sudo apt-get > remove gnucash` then `rm -rf *` your build directory and re-run cmake && > ninja. > > Regards, > John Ralls > > >> On Jul 20, 2021, at 9:16 PM, Dong Lin <c54e-gnuc...@yahoo.com> wrote: >> >> >> vm-ubuntu-1:~/src/build-gnucash$ mv lib lib-local-build >> vm-ubuntu-1:~/src/build-gnucash$ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnucash >> lib >> >> this only switches the libgnc-*.so libs only. all other libs continue >> to >> point to /usr/lib. >> >> vm-ubuntu-1:~/src/build-gnucash$ ./bin/gnucash >> ./bin/gnucash: symbol lookup error: ./bin/gnucash: undefined symbol: >> gnc_run_report_with_error_handling >> >> >>> Switched how?
