After a few years of being too busy to try working on the code base, I thought I’d make another attempt at installing a development version of GnuCash. Following the instructions on https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSX/Quartz <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSX/Quartz>, I began by creating a new user, to be certain the environment wasn’t polluted by my previous attempt.
I was successful in downloading gtk-osx-build-setup.sh I then ran it from the command line, and after a half-dozen or so tries, succeeded. (prior attempts hung at 9% or less complete - I presume this is temporary). There were three warnings: WARNING: aclocal not available (usually part of package 'autoconf') WARNING: automake not available (usually part of package 'automake') WARNING: yelp-tools not available (usually part of package 'yelp-tools') Configuring jhbuild without autotools Are these a problem? I then pulled down http://github.com/gnucash/gnucash-on-osx/raw/master/.jhbuildrc-custom <http://github.com/gnucash/gnucash-on-osx/raw/master/.jhbuildrc-custom> At this point I attempted to uncomment the line skip.remove( “bash” ) But it wasn’t in there. So I added it, and when I attempted to run jhbuild it complained. So I removed the line. Is this it no longer a relevant instruction? I then attempted to run jhbuild build openssl Which yielded the response: jhbuild build: failed to parse /Users/gnucashdev/Source/jhbuild/modulesets/http:/git.gnome.org/browse/gtk-osx/plain/modulesets-stable/gtk-osx.modules: <http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk-osx/plain/modulesets-stable/gtk-osx.modules:> [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/Users/gnucashdev/Source/jhbuild/modulesets/http:/git.gnome.org/browse/gtk-osx/plain/modulesets-stable/gtk-osx.modules' <http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk-osx/plain/modulesets-stable/gtk-osx.modules'> At which point I am not sure how to proceed. In particular. I’m not even sure whether this should go to gnucash-devel or gtx-osx-devel _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
