Summer of code - 2011 - Cutecash

2011-03-22 Thread akash mehrotra
Hi, I am interested in working on Cutecash as a GSoC 2011 project. I have experience with C/C++ and Python, however am not familiar with Qt. Since the wiki mentions I would have time to learn it, its not an issue I assume. However, I do not have any experience with finance, or money management of a

Idea proposal - Google Summer of code 2011

2011-03-22 Thread akash mehrotra
I would like to propose an additional idea for GSoC 2011. This is a very abstract proposal, as I have not yet used GNUCash or seen the source, so I do not know if its practical to implement it. Please do tell me if its practical, I will expand upon it: A mobile application(QT can be used if Symbi

Unstable development, guile 1.8 and gcc 4.5.2

I had the privilege to apply the fist series of patches to trunk after the 2.4 branch was created. After some IRC chat with Derek yesterday, I think these patches require some more explanation and discussion. The birdseye view to this issue is this: * In total I applied 12 patches, which actuall

Geert, you say "the updated gcc can't build the stable branch on Windows". What is the problem? I don't have the details handy, but I am experimenting with a different gcc build (tdm gcc http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/) which seems more up-to-date than mingw. I am trying to build webkit/gtk for

Forgot to add: one advantage if this works vs the script to build webkit in the gnucash tree is that this method doesn't require cygwin but uses mingw+msys. Phil - I used to be a hypochondriac AND a kleptomaniac. So I took something for it. From: Phil

I don't know yet whether webkit can be built with mingw's gcc 4.5.2. There are dependency hassles. Webkit/gtk uses a bleeding-edge libsoup which is more recent than the version on ftp.gnome.org so it needs to be built from source. The webkit/gtk build page says that the built version of libxs

Thanks Geert for the patches and the exhaustive explanation. I'm out of town and will reply in detail later. But I think we shouldn't waste any effort on the building that isn't absolutely necessary. I'd say we set up a second VM with the gcc4 build for trunk, and use the existing one for 2.4 an

All, Thanks for your feedback on th guile 1.8/gcc 4.5.2 issue. I have looked into it in more detail and it turned out to be relatively easy to make mingw (and hence gcc) more volatile, just like all the other dependencies. I have commited a set of 4 patches: http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/changes

Well, this particular checkin (N_ in the root module), or the ones fixing bugs (from Andy Wingo) looked to me like they could be applied to 2.4. They wouldn't need to since they don't fix user-visible bugs. Brings up the question of whether the 2.4.X releases are simply bug fixes or can new
