Price quote in GnuCash win32. Does it work?

[zhimin]

Hello, 

Thanks for the wonderful software. 

Has anyone tried the live price quote in GnuCash win32? Does it work?

I have compiled GnuCash win32 successfully according to the wiki. To
enable the live price quote, I have run gnc-fq-update successfully. To run
gnc-fq-update successfully, I have installed Activeperl 5.8 separately.
The activeperl 5.6 that comes with msys-DTK cannot complete gnc-fq-update,
because it will give the compilation error below:

cc1.exe: error: unrecognized command line option "-fnative-struct"


After running gnc-fq-update with Activeperl 5.8, I can run gnc-fq-dump and
gnc-fq-helper at shell to get quote without problem. But when I come to
Add New Security Editor screen
, the Quote Source Information check box is disabled, and the label
"Warning: Finance::Quote is not installed properly" is displayed. What's
wrong?


When I exit from Gnucash, I also get this in the command prompt:

gnucash: [E] "Failed to fork child process."

And Chris Shoemaker posted in <
http://www.mail-archive.com/gnucash-devel@gnucash.org/msg16609.html> that
it is related to price-quote retrieval and guile in win32.

Does this mean Finance::Quote fail to load in GnuCash because of guile
problem?
Does this mean live price quote won't work at all in GnuCash win32? Any
way out?


Thank you.

cheers,
zhimin

Is there anyway to use live price quote in GnuCash win32?

Re: Price quote in GnuCash win32. Does it work?

I have not gotten it to work under win32 due to the lack of a really good perl.

I have a really good Python, however, and was wondering if anyone thought it 
would be a good idea to use it instead of Python for price quotes.

Thoughts?

RE: Compiling GnuCash on Windows

Sorry took a while before I had the chance to run with gdb. Here's what
happens when I try to save a file. Thanks for your help!

In the gdb window:

For me on win2000/SP4 with r15078 and the updated gnome packages according
to the recent commits in custom.sh, I get these:

>> - Creating a new file (with default account hierarchy)

Works for me just fine. The account hierarchy druid comes up and gives all
the locale=C choices that are shipped with gnucash.

>> - Creating more accounts in that file

Works.

>> - Adding transactions to these accounts

Works.

>> - running reports, particularly "account summary", "income 
>> statement", "balance sheet"

Doesn't work. I tried to run gnucash under gdb,
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows#gdb , and surprisingly enough then it
works! All of the text reports will simply work when running under gdb...
sigh.

>>- Saving to file

Works just fine as well, probably due to the recent gtk upgrade.

The feature is already disabled on windows, see io-gncxml-v2.c:1243. I tried
to find the place that's causing this "failed to fork" message, but
apparently it doesn't come from within gnucash. At least we don't have that
string anywhere, and the only fork() that gnucash uses is in io-gncxml-v2.c
which is unused on windows. So I have no idea where this comes from, and I'd
simply ignore it for now.

Releases?

[Chris Lyttle]

Guys,

Derek asked me about rolling a new release, I'm thinking next weekend is 
looking good for that, so if you could get any changes/fixes into the 
2.0 branch before then that would be great.
As a side note, I know we discussed possibly starting on the road to 
2.1/2.2 in Dec. Is this still the gameplan? Any dates yet?

As of today I believe that all the outstanding patches have been
backported to 2.0.

As for the 2.1/2.2 cycle, I don't think we're quite there, yet.  But I
don't know where we are or when we'll get there.  I'm not sure what
features are tagged for 2.1/2.2
