With this Windows GnuCash discussion, I see several categories of choices
that seem to be in play for Windows. I'll write here my thoughts and invite
you all to add yet more clarity.

My understanding, and the link you posted does nothing to gainsay it, is that
VSCode is an editor like emacs. You need other tools to do the building,
packaging, and debugging. Like emacs, those tools can be integrated with the
editor via tasks (link in previous email).

I noticed earlier the use of "VS" and was watching it for context. Now I
see more clearly what was intended.
You want to actually use the Visual Studio UI and the Visual Studio
compiler. And consider VS Code a lesser option "at a stretch".
I've tons of experience with Visual Studio. It is good for
Thanks for the suggestion. However the goal is not only to get a linux GnuCash
running on Windows. We already do better than that so it would be a step back
to what we do now.
The goal is to make it easy to develop GnuCash *natively* on Windows ("as easy
as on linux") to make it more attractive
If your goal is to use a Windows computer to run and/or develop GnuCash,
then an option is to...
Execute GnuCash in Linux
Display GnuCash in Windows
I do not recommend deep investment into the current WSL. The drastically
different WSL2 is already in preview and will be available within ~6-9
month

That’s what I was thinking too, but maybe J

I was running gnucash directly from the inst directory and not creating an

I have finally had time to sit down and try again. When libxml development was
installed via pacman, it installed icu64 in addition to the icu61 that was
already installed by the gnucash script. I was able to remove icu64 and clear
out the entire build and inst directories and try again. It b
Yes I have that commit on my system and had a clean build directory for
gnucash prior to starting the compile.

Hi responding to myself:
First, forgot plain text in the first email, so I fixed the formatting in the

Second, my system has both icu 61 which is the one explicitly required for

Hi All,
I have recently worked on building GNUCash on windows to try to debug a problem
