Thank you for the post below and copy of PM from Manfred advising of his successful Windows compile. Clearly, the instructions don't work as published and this information is important.
1. Did you set-executionpolicy Unrestricted (ie set-executionpolicy -executionpolicy Unrestricted -scope LocalMachine )? 2. Can you confirm you just run everything listed in points 1-3 below after https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-windows#setup-mingw64-options and before https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-windows#building-gnucash ? 3. Can you explain "apply the manifest patch and a rename patch to jhbuild. as well as a packaging patch" ? https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2023-November/046820.html On Sat Nov 11 19:19:42 EST 2023 Sherlock wrote: > > For what it may be worth, I have been successful building and packaging GnuCash 5.4 on Windows 10 with mingw-w64-i686-webkitgtk3-2.4.11-999.5-any in a recent (2023-07-18) MSYS2 MINGW32 environment. > > 1.
