Re: [GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

[Dennis Powless]

Almost there but not quite. In which directory in your home directory
/home/dennis have you extracted the gnucash-3.1 directory from the tarball
gnucash-3.1.tar.bz2 which you downloaded. Can you tell me the full path to
that directory and the full path to the build-cmake directory you have
created?

I was told to extract it to the Applications folder, certainly, I can move
that to the home folder. I was never told or read to specify a location for
the build-cmake directory.  I'm not real sure where to place that.

Yes that path to the tarball file extracted is the Applications
 /home/dennis/Applications/gnucash-3.1
dennis@dennis:~/Applications$ ls
gnucash-3.1




Next chack that $HOME is defined, type echo $HOME into a shell/terminal. It
should return "/home/dennis".


yes it returned /home/dennis


With the "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local/gnucash-3.1", the install
process will create the following directory structure:
/home/dennis/.local/gnucash-3.1/bin/gnucash
/home/dennis/.local/gnucash-3.1/etc/gnucash
/home/dennis/.local/gnucash-3.1/lib/gnucash
/home/dennis/.local/gnucash-3.1/share/gnucash

I was under the impression you had to identify the gnucash-3.1 in order for
the 'installer' to find it


It will also create those same four directories underneath a parent folder
for any other application you install with a similar prefix.

If you use the "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local" as the install location
you will get the structure:
/home/dennis/.local/bin/gnucash
/home/dennis/.local/etc/gnucash
/home/dennis/.local/lib/gnucash
/home/dennis/.local/share/gnucash.

I certainly can use this one.



The latter is normally the preferred arrangement  as when other applications
are installed their files will also go in the same
/home/dennis/.local/bin
/home/dennis/.local/etc
/home/dennis/.local/lib
home/dennis/.local/share
directories.

Both of the above will work as if you want to uninstall Gnucash you issue
"make unistall" command in the build-cmake directory you created and that
uses the contents of a file "install_manifest.txt" which records the
locations in which the files were installed. The latter is the structure
that is normally used by most Linux developers in the system directories
/usr, /usr/local and /opt, so mirroring that makes it a little easier in
translating instructions that are written with a different base location in
mind.

CMake and make are different tools. CMake is a precompiler which checks that
any dependent libraries and headr files are installed and available for the
build system to use. It also creates in the build-cmake directory a parallel
structure to the source directories containing files named Makefile which
are used separately by the make tool to compile the program. It also
contains bin, etc, lib and share directories into which the compiled sources
are placed ready for installation.

Entering the "make" command in the shell/terminal starts the process of
building these directories within the build-cmake file.

The final command "make install" ( or sudo make install if you are
installing to a system location) copies these directories to the install
location specified by the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX switch applied to the cmake
command.

In the camke command as you had it specified
"cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local/gnucash-3.1 make"

"make" is not a legitimate part of the cmake command. It is a separate
command which follows the cmake command, as explained above. Instead of
make, you need in that position in the cmake command a path reference to the
guncash-3.1 directory. You will remember I aksed you above to tell me the
locations of it in your home directory structure. It may be something like
/home/dennis/Applications/gnucash-3.1. In this case you would simply use the
string "/home/dennis/Applications/gnucash-3.1" (without the quotes) where
you have "make" in the cmake command. That is known as an absolute reference
to the location of the gnucash source directory. That is probably the
easiest to use as relative path from the build-cmake location to the
gnucash-3.1 location can be a little more difficult to work out. Assuming
the above location(substitute the correct path if not) the cmake command
would be:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/dennis/.local
/home/dennis/Applications/gnucash-3.1


I accidentally wrote the make at the end, I thought the make on the second
to last line was carried over from the previous




The problem with writing instructions is that you generally have to assume a

to do it;

The transition to GnuCash 3.1 is a bit more difficult than usual as the
developers have made changes to how the software is built, introducing cmake
instead of the configure script used by the autotools system so that it is
more flexible and more easily maintained in the future. make itself is one
component of the autotools used for building software on Linux systems.  
Add to that that there are many varieties of Linux which are all evolving
along different paths with different sequential versions within each
variety. Each variety often has its own system tools with different names.

Re: [GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

[Dennis Powless]

So, in my case

home/dennis
as my  is dennis, thusly home/dennis

I have this
$HOME/.local/

And this
$HOME/.local/share


So..  given the variables

I type >


mkdir build-cmake


cd build-cmake


cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local/gnucash-3.1 make

make

sudo make install




I'll have to look at the directions again with the new information I have
now.  Sometimes the directions make sense to the author, often background
prerequisites are needed to understand the directions.


Thanks,

Dennis

 THAT would be income to the partnership.

Hi Frank,

Thank you for answering. I couldn't find newer version in repositories,
so I'll have to refresh my memory how to install from source when I'll
have some time available. I think this is the best path to fix things
and I'll let you know how it went.

Thanks again. Best regards,

I don't know, why PIPELIGHT, wine, ntdll ... apear here. AFAIK they are
not related to gnucash

To get the settings in the instance started by the menu, you need to
adjust the gnucash.desktop or preferred the gnucash environment file.

Re: [GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

[DaveC49]

Hi Dennis,

I updated the BuildUbuntu16.04 page after having similar problems while
building Gnucash3.0. My apologies for any errors and lack of clarity in a
few areas and thanks for reporting the problems. I will edit the page to try
and make some issues clearer as I or other users uncover my mistakes.

$HOME is usually defined in Ubuntu and Linux Mint distributions as
/home/ where  is the logged in user name. If you want to install
in $HOME/.local/ you may need to check that these directories
$HOME/.local/bin, $HOME/.local/etc, $HOME/.local/lib, $HOME/.local/share
exist. This was John Ralls preference for an install for a single user to
avoid creating bin, etc, lib and share directories directly in the users
home directories. The use of a hidden directory avoids these appearing in by
default  and cluttering up your file browser (unless you enable  hidden
directories).

The correct option switch for Cmake is

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local.

My understanding is that the default value for this switch is /usr/local and
if you use cmake without the switch at all that is where it will install.
This along with /opt is the location most Linux distributors place their
packaged versions of applications like GnuCash in. In these locations
GnuCash would be available to all users with accounts on the computer and
not just the user installing it, but this requires administrator privileges
during installation. The distributors versions are often considerably out of
date which is the primary reason for building GnuCash yourself. If you use
the Software Manager or apt to install the Ubuntu distribution version for
example, it will overwrite your up to date built version if it is in this
location. I use this location, but I take care not to install the packaged
version from Linux MInt. (I have done so in the past while getting more
familiar with Linux, distributions , repositories etc.).

I have tried to fix the issues with the build instructions. I would
appreciate any comment on the changes to see if they have clarified the
issues you had. 

Cheers

David

Re: [GNC] new v3.0 install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

[DaveC49]

Hi Dennis,

I recently updated the Ubuntu 16.04 build instructions so I am glad to get
your feedback on issues which may be unclear and any errors I may have
incorporated. I will try to modify the instructions to make it clearer and
eliminate errors. If you find any issues that are specific to Ubuntu 18.04
please flag them as I am running Linux Mint based on 16.04 and I will add
them as specific notes for 18.04. I started this after my own difficulties
building Gnucash 3.0 from the original page. I have added a couple of
breakout pages which give more detail about the build directory location. I
noted that there is an inconsistency between the notation in the main page
and the breakout page re using  in two contexts so I will fix that. 

There is a breakoutpage also listing the CMAKE option switches.
Unfortunately you do have to type the whole CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=... .
Fortunately most of the option defaults are sensible. I think for
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX the default is /usr/local so if you use the command
without  that switch it should install in that location. 

$HOME is usually defined as /home/ where  is the logged in
username.
Adding the $HOME/.local/bin is best done with 

$export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin. My apologies I copied that from another
page and stuffed it up.  This only changes the PATH variable as defined in
the currently open terminal/shell. To make the changes permanent, they
should be included in either the .profile file or the .bashrc file in your
home directory. 

Cheers

David
