The simplest work-around is to set it to something in $HOME. A little more complicated approach (one that I sometimes take) is to create a top-level directory and chown it to your userid and use a subdirectory under that for CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

[GNC-dev] GnuCash 3.4: Building on ubuntu 18.04
I'm seeing two issues when building gnucash on ubuntu 18.04 issue #1: build completes successfully using cmake and make with cmake command line: cmake -DWITH_PYTHON=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/gnucash34 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo .. But then, the executable fails to find library modules is /opt/gnucash34/lib after make install. Also, the same error occurs if trying to start from the build directory. I see lines in the trace file saying (there are about 20 lines with various module names in place of ... * 14:56:29 WARN Could not locate module gnucash/ ... v.0 * 14:56:29 MESSG Could not locate module gnucash/ ... v.0 and a final line saying * 14:56:29 WARN GnuCash engine failed to initialize. Exiting. If I remove the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/gnucash34 then the build starts and works from the build directory. issue#2 Running tests, one test fails: 28 - test-userdata-dir-invalid-home (Failed). This happens regardless of successful Running that test individually shows error messages such as: (Error: /home/antonios/.config/gnucash is a descendant of a non-existing home directory. As GnuCash will never create a home directory this path can't be used: Permission denied: "/home/antonios/.config/gnucash") Antonios Hadjigeorgalis signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
Re: [GNC-dev] Launchpad
Single board computers such as the various Pi boards will benefit from armhf if not arm64, not sure any machines out there in userland would need the ppc64el port. (a little-endian build for Power based chips) arm64 is the ‘default’ but most of the Pi boards, including the RaspberryPi3 use armhf, which stands for ‘hard float’. Raspian was a hack to work around the lack of floating point support of the early RaspberryPi boards, but now it can run straight debian using the armhf port. I can’t seem to find anything definitive concerning differences between arm64 and armhf and what machines might use arm64 in the wild. Also, some newer Chromebooks are shipping with ARM chips instead of Intel. Regards, Adrien > On Dec 31, 2018, at 2:16 PM, Stephen M.

Stephen, I could be mistaken, but doesn’t Launchpad have automated build facilities to target different releases? That might ease providing packages for the LTS versions and the current regular version even if you aren’t running them yourself.

[GNC-dev] Launchpad
Dev Team, So far, three folks have either used or inquired about using the debian package for 3.4.

Both Ubuntu (Launchpad) and Debian request certain files in a ~/debian folder. Most of these appear to be copies of files the application already has. Perhaps a softlink could be put in the debian folder that points to the original so that changes in the original automatically show up in the folder. Does this work via git? 2.

I was starting a search for libboost but then thought to read the rest of the emails and you had already found the solution. Along that vein, the checkinstall documentation seems to imply the deb file is good only for same O/S and release #. Launchpad seems to be the only open source platform for ppa but it is oriented toward Ubuntu. It does appear to have options for 32/64 bit and the various Ubuntu and Debian releases. However, their requirements for packaging are quite a ways beyond my skill level. -- Stephen M Butler, PMP, PSM stephen.m.butle...@gmail.com kg...@arrl.net 253-350-0166 --- GnuPG Fingerprint: 8A25 9726 D439 758D D846 E5D4 282A 5477 0385 81D8 pEpkey.asc Description: application/pgp-keys ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
