To build unstable: 1. Retrieve the latest .jhbuildrc-custom from the gnucash-on-osx repository. 2. Edit ~/.jhbuildrc-custom to comment out the gnucash-stable prefix and modules and to uncomment the gnucash-unstable ones. 3. Run jhbuild bootstrap 4. Run jhbuild build
If you want a git checkout, uncomment the gnucash-git module instead of the gnucash-unstable module. That will build ‘master’, though be sure to look at https://github.com/jralls/gnucash-on-osx/blob/master/modulesets/gnucash.modules <https://github.com/jralls/gnucash-on-osx/blob/master/modulesets/gnucash.modules> and note the instructions for boost; jhbuild doesn’t know how to build that. After running `jhbuild build` you can 1. cd ~/gtk/source/gnucash-git 2. git clean -fdx 2. git checkout -b unstable -t origin/unstable 3. jhbuild shell 4. cd $PREFIX/.. 5. mkdir build/gnucash-git && cd build/gnucash-git 6. cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX -DGTEST_ROOT=$JHBUILD_SOURCE/googletest/googletest -DGMOCK_ROOT=$JHBUILD_SOURCE/googletest/googlemock $JHBUILD_SOURCE/gnucash-git 7. make && make install To run tests, run make check Regards, John Ralls > On Jan 29, 2018, at 3:33 PM, R.
