Hi Jeff,
The script below will build version 4.9 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I have
verified this on a clean installation of Ubuntu.
One thing that tripped me up a few times is remembering to tick
"Source Code" in the Software And Updates dialogue. If you don't do
this, it will fail.
Please note that I have used -y with apt install so it will install
and build without asking.
I will try to get around to putting this in the wiki to make it easier
for people to find.
=== build.sh ===
## Ubuntu 20.04
## In "Software and Updates":
## Tick "Source code"
## Tick "Community-maintained free and open-source software (Universe)"
## Change this if you want to build it somewhere else.
SOURCEDIR="$HOME/Documents/gnucash/source"
BUILDDIR="$HOME/Documents/gnucash/build"
## Change this if you want to install it somewhere else.
INSTALLDIR=/opt/gnucash
sudo apt -y update
sudo apt -y upgrade
sudo apt -y install git
sudo apt -y build-dep gnucash
## To build series 4 of gnucash on Ubuntu 20.04
sudo apt -y install libboost-program-options1.71-dev
mkdir -p $SOURCEDIR
mkdir -p $BUILDDIR
## Clone gnucash source from git
git clone https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash.git $SOURCEDIR
## Checkout version 4.9
cd $SOURCEDIR
git checkout -b 4.9 4.9
cd $BUILDDIR
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$INSTALLDIR $SOURCEDIR
make
=== End of build.sh ===
Fingers-crossed this will work for you.
David
I am on Ubuntu 21.10 and have been lagging way behind. So tried this
morning. All was well until the libboost portion.
