Re: [GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible

Aha, thanks John. I wonder how much trouble it would be for a user to update their compiler or if that is just a mess for the rest of the system. (all else being equal, which I'm sure it isn't) Regards, Adrien On 8/9/22 3:06 PM, John Ralls wrote: Caveat: Check the dependency requirements in R

Re: [GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible

Caveat: Check the dependency requirements in README.dependencies for the GnuCash version you're trying to build against what a particular OS release provides. Pay particular attention to the C++ standard level supported by the compiler, Boost, Cmake, and GLib. You can't build GnuCash 4.x on Ubun

Re: [GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible

Last build I did was on 21.10 (for 4.10-65-g7e4fcc7af+(2022-04-29)). Now running 22.04 but haven't built the latest release yet -- may be a bit before I do.  Maybe 5.0 will come out first <>. --Steve On 8/9/22 11:37, Adrien Monteleone wrote: Seems reasonable to me. I'd think the only version

Re: [GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible

I'll add that maybe a note should be made for non-LTS (rather than provide special instructions) that GnuCash is available to Ubuntu repos from upstream Debian Testing that is current as of the Ubuntu release date. (or is that the freeze date?) So conceivably, since Ubuntu releases every 6 mon

Re: [GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible

Seems reasonable to me. I'd think the only versions with instructions that are useful are those still supported by Canonical, namely, these LTS releases: 14.04 - EOL 4/24 (ESS 4/19) 16.04 - EOL 4/26 (ESS 4/21) 18.04 - EOL 4/28 (ESS 4/23) 20.04 - EOL 4/30 (ESS 4/25) 22.04 - EOL 4/32 (ESS 4/27)

Re: [GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible

I think we should remove the instructions from https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Ubuntu for 21.10. Anyone have any objections to that? David On Mon, 8 Aug 2022 at 16:26, Adrien Monteleone wrote: > > Ditto concerning Ubuntu versions. > > In my experience so far building on older versions

Re: [GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible

Ditto concerning Ubuntu versions. In my experience so far building on older versions of Ubuntu, you can stumble into a nasty nearly un-resolvable dependency hell. It *can* be resolved (best I have figured out so far) by pinning lots of packages, but that may not always be the best solution for

Rob There were originally breakout pages from the building on Linux for specific information related to various Linux distributions including one for Ubuntu. That seems to have now morphed into a general installation page for Ubuntu https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ubuntu and the Ubuntu specific bui

Re: [GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible

I either use the Flatpak version which is always updated with the latest release or I use David Whiting's script to build on Ubuntu ( https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2021-October/097864.html) - clones the git repository locally and as a newbie to building on Linux it was easy to fo

Re: [GNC] Build From Source Near Impossible

First of all, Impish is already EOL. You will need to use a flavor of 22.04 LTS for the following. The documentation for how to build GnuCash is confusing and not all in one place. The following begins with a fresh install of Lubuntu 22.04 LTS. I use Vagrant so that everything is deterministically
