Building 2.8 on Ubuntu 16.04 - Wiki Proposal

[Carsten Rinke]

Hi there,

starting with an Ubuntu 16.04 installation from scratch, this is what I 
did to make GnuCash 2.8 build with autotools:


autogen.sh:
===
sudo apt-get install intltool
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake autotools-dev libsigsegv2 m4
sudo apt-get install libtool libltdl-dev
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev

configure
=
sudo apt-get install icu-devtools libicu-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install guile-2.0 guile-2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install swig2.0
sudo apt-get install libxml++2.6-dev
sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev
sudo apt-get install xsltproc
sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev
sudo apt-get install google-mock
sudo apt-get install gtk+3.0
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
sudo apt-get install webkit2gtk-3.0 # >600MB !

make (xml backend)
=
mkdir build-master
cd build-master
../gnucash/autogen.sh
../gnucash/configure --prefix=/gnucash-master 
--enable-compile-warnings --disable-error-on-warning --disable-dbi

make
sudo make install

If this looks ok to you I would put it onto the Wikipage 1:1 as a 
starting point.

multi-column reports include incorrect sub-reports

Hi Geert,

I am interested to have a look into *
* 

*Bug 764245*  
-multi-column reports include incorrect sub-reports


Just to save double-work:
Is this something that you are already close to resolve?

A few questions/remarks:

* Which packet pulls in the dev package for webkit2gtk ?

* I don't know whether this is also on Ubuntu, though on Fedora if you install 
libgtk-3.dev, that will automatically pull in gtk+3.0 (using the Ubuntu 
package names here)

* I'd condense this to one or two apt-get commands rather than the long list 
of separate commands.

* Does listing this under separate build steps (autogen.sh vs configure) add 
anything useful or could you just call it install system prerequisites or 
something like that ?

I didn't know you could call autogen.sh out of tree. If you can, so much the 
better. It will however still create files in the source directory. So it may 
be better to call this directly in the source directory to make this more 
clear. I'm not sure about which way is best.

It's certainly a good starting point. I would definitely also illustrate how 
to build with dbi enabled (many people want this) and which additional 
dependencies this has.

And considering you wrote this for 2.8 I would consider using cmake instead of 
autotools. It's very likely we will drop the latter as soon as we're sure our 
cmake configuration does everything autotools does until now. The biggest 
roadblock to this has recently been solved (running cmake on Ubuntu 14.04LTS) 
so I was about to propose again to drop autotools.

Hi Carsten,

Feel free to jump in. I still haven't gotten around to it.

My intention to fix this was to introduce uuids for report instantiations as 
well and save those with each saved report instance. Then these numbers can be 
used in the multi-column report as well.

As said on the bug report, since this breaks the current save/load interface 
we'll need to increase the saved-reports file's version number.

But perhaps you have a better idea.
