bootstrap_win_dev.vbs fails
Hi, I am attempting to build gnucash on windows. From instructions here: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-windows I downloaded this: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-windows/master/bootstrap_win_dev.vbs I ran it but it failed silently. It prints 'Downloading mingw-get.zip (slow!)...' but after a minute prints a message (too quick to see) and the window disappears. I tried running the vbs script from a windows command-prompt, but when I run it the vbs script window pops up separately just like I had clicked on it in the folder view and I get no extra debug information when it fails. Can someone please advise? Cheers Patrick PS gnucash 3.0 crashes on windows for me, previous versions were fine -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-Dev-f1435356.html ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
gnucash wiki access
Hi, I found a typo on the gnucash wiki so I attempted to register in order to fix it. Firstly, the captcha box on the registration form appears to be broken. It refers to an 'obsolete version 1 captcha' and has a link to the newer version. Secondly, I did get an account on the wiki but I don't seem to have permission to edit pages. How do I acquire this please? Perhaps these 2 issues are related? Thanks Patrick PS does anyone have a Visual Studio solution to build gnucash? It would greatly simplify things for me. PPS If someone can point me to a debug build of gnucash which is, say, on an automated build server then I could run that locally to reproduce the crash, and see what visual studio can tell me about the stacktrace etc. This would enable me to report the failure point withot getting gnucash built myself, which is looking to be a non-trivial exercise at the moment.

There's a one-week "cooling off period" between getting an account and it being authorized for editing. That was in place as an anti-spam measure before we required applying for an account and hasn't yet been removed.

Re: gnucash wiki access
John, The Captcha problem essentially freezes the wiki from the perspective of adding or modifying links; contributors can’t (for example) fix erroneous links like the one for OFX on the Glossary page that links to a 404. That’s a problem that only grows worse.

David, Thanks for saying, but only Derek can fix it and he's away.
