In addition to all the other replies, I'd like to add that I would not normally expect the user to compile the software and add all the development dependencies. For this reason, among others, I've added a feature request for the creation of AppImage: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796019.
I'm trying to get familiar with the build process at Open Build Service on Suse servers in order to build this. It should be easy but Murphy's law works there, too. My progress has also been slowed down by the fact that I managed to create a build for the RPM with the latest GnuCash release on OBS and this satisfies the most urgent need. It should be just one more step in order to get the AppImage from the successful RPM build, apparently. If anyone has the desire, understanding, and/or some time, you are welcome to look more into this. While OBS builds RPMs first, once they get compiled into AppImage, all the dependencies are stored in there, so the end result is distribution-agnostic. Needless to say, having such a binary distribution would probably solve the compilation and update problems for many Linux users. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
