Compiling 1.5.97 for FreeBSD
Hi, I've just started trying to get 1.5.97 compiled on FreeBSD 4.3. Haven't had a chance to try out earlier releases in the 1.5.x series. I've had a couple of hangups so far: 1) in src/engine/Query.c #include needs to come before #include not after it, since regex.h depends on types in sys/types.h 2) I don't seem to have langinfo.h (needed at least by src/engine/date.c anywhere on my system. Which package does that come from? 3) Does anyone know of a BSD port of guppi? It's not in the ports tree, the source doesn't seem to compile out of the box for me and I don't currently have the time to make it compile. I'm just compiling gnucash with the --disable-guppi flag, for now. Thanks, Matt Condell ___ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumatic.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

We use a function defined in it (nl_langinfo) to find out the format string to be passed to strftime to generate a date string in a locale-correct way. If FreeBSD's C library doesn't support this interface (or its equivalent), we could simply supply a non-localised format string. GnuCash would lose a little bit of localisation under FreeBSD, but, hey, at least it would work. > 3) Does anyone know of a BSD port of guppi?

I'll patch 1) straight away, and a workaround for 2) shouldn't take long either (mainly just getting the autoconf stuff right). However, if you can provide us with information about FreeBSD's interface to locale information, I can put a proper fix, which would be better.

Yeah, that's a hard one to translate. He's talking about the account called "Orphan" which is created when you "scrub" an account. IIRC all the splits from the scrubbed account will now appear in this "Orphan" account.

I think it reasonable to assume that users do their serious accounting work consistently in one locale.

For example, looking up the account by the name the user types in -- they will most likely type in the displayed name, so even non-display functions will have to use the gettext version sometimes. And what if the translation changes? For scrub-created accounts, I don't think this is a big problem since the idea is that you are supposed to move the added splits to their 'proper' accounts and then delete the scrub ones anyway. For, say, opening-balance accounts this is more of a problem, though. dave ___ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumatic.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

This isn't just gnu libc, langinfo is defined by the X/Open portability guide and is available on, e.g., Solaris as well. I'm a little surprised this isn't in FreeBSD.

I just took a quick look in the FreeBSD CVS tree and it looks like langinfo was added to the tree in February, but it has not been included in the -STABLE branch.

I still am seeing the problem with the 'timezone' variable in date.c. I looked into it a little. FreeBSD's time.h does not define timezone as a variable. It defines it as a function: char *timezone(int, int). Seconds offset from UTC are contained in struct tm.tm_gmtoff.

Right, unfortunately not all systems have that so we will have to do some autoconfery.

This is a scaling problem It has to do with a difference between guppi's and gtkhtml's ideas of scaling on the canvas... I want to say 100 dpi vs. 72 dpi, but I'm not sure. I had a magical correction factor in there (on the gnucash side) but backed it out recently because on my machine the changes made guppi graphs too small.

Transaction report crash?
You reported a report with "style: multi-line" in the transaction report a little while ago. Nobody has been able to duplicate the crash, and there wasn't much to go on in the bug report. Is this crash still happening? Does GnuCash hang totally? Is there a scheme backtrace?

However, for a quick hack to make things work just for AU users, you can just modify the function number-to-words in number-to-words.scm. -- Robert Merkel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Go You Big Red Fire Engine -- Unknown Audience Member at Adam Hills standup gig ___ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumatic.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
Check printing and localisation
GnuCash 1.5.x has the ability to print checks. Unfortunately, it writes out the amounts in words in a US-specific way - for examples, $234.56 is written out as "Two hundred and thirty-four Dollars 56/100" and $234 is written as "Two hundred and thirty-four Dollars 0/100" on Australian cheques, the equivalent amount would be written as: "Two hundred and thirty-four dollars and fifty-six cents" and $234 would be written "Two hundred and thirty-four dollars only" However, a sample of two isn't great for developing a general solution for the many countries with GnuCash users (or potential GnuCash users) who might conceivably want to print checks from their PC's. So what I'm really asking international users to do is describe how this is done in your home country, so that we can come up with a more general solution for translating numerical quantities to words in a localised way for next time round. If you want GnuCash to fully support localised check printing for your country in the future, have your say now! -- Robert Merkel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Go You Big Red Fire Engine -- Unknown Audience Member at Adam Hills standup gig ___ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumatic.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
