Jeffrey, I will start form scratch. The first step is setting up for building. My apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs. Linux Mint has an alias of apt defined for apt-get. I am not sure if it is also defined in Ubuntu. If not substitute apt-get where I have apt in the following. # first do

John, I did that at the beginning of the week. As I said at the top of my first message, I had a successful build, made some changes to prove a bug fix, rebuilt and that was OK. It is only when I tried to make changes to gnc-main-window.c/h that I get the error message. If I change them back, it w

Hi John, My apologies for my misinterpretation of why Google recommended that googlemock and googletest not be built as shared libraries. I now understand the problem with a lot of conditional code and different compile flags and on the build for a calling program and the libraries much better.

Thanks Geert, I will take your feedback on board and have a go at an edit. I am also talking Jeffrey Black through a build of v3 on Ubuntu16.04. I hope that will clarify things further for me as well. I've had a quick look at the rewrite of the C source code and it looks to be much more structure

Jeffrey, My response re "30 years ago I swallowed new programming languages like jellybeans, today it takes a manual and 3 sledge hammers." is very similar although in my case it was closer to 40 years. At least being retired now I can take the time to bumble my way through these days. My own se
