Hi,
While studying how to develop for GnuCash, I found some information in the
HACKING document to be outdated:
* it still refers to CVS, while GC has switched to svn for quite a while
* now the gnucash-bin application is a C app, there's an easier way to start
GC under the debugger
I have updated HACKING to reflect these changes, together with a small typo.
Attached is a patch for it.
Regards,
Geert
