Re: [GNC] Building 5.0 on Ubuntu 18.04

[john]

Oh, yeah. We changed the branch names, so for now there's only stable. If you 
don't want to re-clone, do this to get back in sync:

   git fetch origin
   git branch -m master stable
   git branch -u origin/stable stable
   git remote set-head origin -a

Hi, 

 

I received an email March 28 to install an new version and I downloaded the

but when I double click on it nothing happens.  It does not install a new 
version.

 

Would you please help me resolve this issue.

Re: [GNC] Exporting reports to spreadsheet

[Adrien Monteleone]

George,

You created the circle.

Skip adding/changing the extension entirely.

Just export, then open the file *from* Calc. (double-clicking will most 
likely use your default HTML editor, whatever that may be, or even a web 
browser)


Regards,
Adrien

The setting:

Windows 10
Gnucash 4.13

When I Export a report I've been supplying a windows extension of 
".ods". Which I assumed would cause that exported report file to open in 
some OpenDocumentSpreadsheet application, in my case: LibreOffice Calc.


But it doesn't do that. I double-click the file to open it in the 
default application and it opens in LibreOffice Writer.


Opening the exported report in a text editor I see that it's really an 
HTML file. And that, in fact, I can specify any windows extension I want 
when exporting the report from Gnucash, and it will always write out a 
file that contains HTML.


I think Windows is seeing ".ods" as something to open in LibreOffice, 
which starts reading the file and detects that it's HTML and then 
without any asking, renders the HTML in the exported report as a 
LibreOffice Writer document.


However, if I export a report and specify a file extension of ".xlsx" 
and then double click that to open it, then LibreOffice Calc starts up 
and offers to convert the HTML that's in that file to an actual 
spreadsheet which I can then save as a ".ods" file that opens in 
LibreOffice Calc.


I find myself in circles trying to find the straight path from Gnucash 
exported reports to LibreOffice Calc and can't seem to untangle the 
Windows/Gnucash/LibreOffice interactions to get this to happen.


Any Windows + LibreOffice users out that that get this working?

Re: [GNC] 5.0-1 (Flathub) issue

[Patrick James]

Once the correct payee is highlighted, simply tab to the next field, and 5.0 
will fill it in as you desire. Also note that you may arrow up and down during 
the data entry to select your desired payee, and then click tab.

I have a few payees that are very similar, but are long, so the number of 
keystrokes has gone down by a significant amount for those situations. The 
other situations are the same number of keystrokes, or very close.

Re: [GNC] 5.0-1 (Flathub) issue

[William Prescott]

I disagree. I like the new feature. I often have several entries that start 
similarly. Before I would have to type a lot of characters until I got to the 
point where they differed. Now I just start typing and it brings up all of them 
for me to choose with a couple of touches on the down arrow.

Re: [GNC] Building 5.0 on Ubuntu 18.04

[Stephen M. Butler]

Oh, forgot one minor detail.  I did a "git pull" on my gnucash git clone 
and then attempted to apply the commands that John posted a few messages 
back.  Didn't work as expected so I did the extreme and blew my clone 
away and redid it from github.


Then compiled from the most recent patch: 5.0-5-g77cb9c6af4+(2023-03-27)
That may explain why my compiles work.

The two build failures are the same. Herbert Thoma reported it on Monday 
(https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2023-March/046617.html) and 
Richard Cohen has submitted https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/1593 to fix 
it.

Re: [GNC] Building 5.0 on Ubuntu 18.04

[Tom Weichmann]

So I took a guess and thought that since the README.dependencies doc
required GCC 8.0 that it may also require g++ 8.  Ubuntu 18.04 has several
versions available including 6, 7 and 8.  I had them all installed but gcc
was linked to gcc7 and g++ was linked to g++7.  I had already changed the
link for gcc to gcc-8 but hadn't yet for g++ since the
README.dependencies didn't mentions g++.  However looking at the logs I saw
some mentions of c++ 7, so I changed my links in /usr/bin for g++ to now
link to g++-8.

My build got much further, however failed again at a new point:

Understand? Just putting that extension on the file does NOT in and by 
itself make the data formatted that way.


The conversion offered by LibreOffice Calc depends on the actual data 
format being one that LibreOffice Calc knows how to convert.

Re: [GNC] Building 5.0 on Ubuntu 18.04

[Tom Weichmann]

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, the README.dependencies does state:
Libraries/Deps
--
  required  Version
    ___
  cmake 3.10Build system manager

and I do have 3.10 installed as you suspected.

% cmake --version
cmake version 3.10.2

So, I downloaded, built and installed cmake 3.11 into my /usr/local and can
confirm that I can now complete the cmake operation in the build process.
Since Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is now 5 years old and is going EOL next month I'd
say it's safe to just bump your cmake requirements to 3.11.  It looks like
3.11 was released 5 years ago already, but I don't know what other major
distros are on.

However, that being fixed, I am now running into issues building.  Pastebin
here:

https://pastebin.com/tBDW6XeY

Any ideas what is going on here?

Re: [GNC] Building 5.0 on Ubuntu 18.04

[john]

Ubuntu's 18.04's Cmake is too old. target_compile_definitions for imported 
modules was introduced in Cmake 3.11 and Ubuntu 18.04 has 3,10.1.

Our currently advertised minimum cmake *is* 3.10, but we didn't bump it for 5.0 
and we usually do. I'm inclined to bump the minimum Cmake
instead of going back got `pkg_check_modules`.

John Ralls

So doesn’t it make sense for Gnucash to use whatever extension is provided by 
the user, and .html if none?

Yeah.  File->Open in LO calc seems the most bullet proof route around any

Yeah... isn't that curious?  Gnucash writes out HTML regardless of any 
windows filename extension you supply. But if the filename I supply ends 
with the extension ".xlsx" then surprise! - it opens in LibreOffice Calc 
with an opening dialog box offering to convert the file to a Calc file!

The setting:

Windows 10
Gnucash 4.13

When I Export a report I've been supplying a windows extension of
".ods". Which I assumed would cause that exported report file to open in
some OpenDocumentSpreadsheet application, in my case: LibreOffice Calc.

But it doesn't do that. I double-click the file to open it in the
default application and it opens in LibreOffice Writer.

Opening the exported report in a text editor I see that it's really an
HTML file. And that, in fact, I can specify any windows extension I want
when exporting the report from Gnucash, and it will always write out a
file that contains HTML.

I think Windows is seeing ".ods" as something to open in LibreOffice,
which starts reading the file and detects that it's HTML and then
without any asking, renders the HTML in the exported report as a
LibreOffice Writer document.

However, if I export a report and specify a file extension of ".xlsx"
and then double click that to open it, then LibreOffice Calc starts up
and offers to convert the HTML that's in that file to an actual
spreadsheet which I can then save as a ".ods" file that opens in
LibreOffice Calc.

I find myself in circles trying to find the straight path from Gnucash
exported reports to LibreOffice Calc and can't seem to untangle the
Windows/Gnucash/LibreOffice interactions to get this to happen.

Any Windows + LibreOffice users out that that get this working?

The files have meta data that reveals the type of file it is, or did in the 
ancient past of 15-20 years ago. That is why why files didn’t need an extension 
to hint at its contents.

I compiled just fine on Ubuntu 22.10.  Your problem may be older 
versions of GLIB2 and GTK3 (which might be GTK2 on 18.04).


The newer versions needed for those modules may not be compatible with 
18.04.

Re: [GNC] Exporting reports to spreadsheet

[David T. via gnucash-user]

You could always forego the export aspect altogether. In the report window of 
GnuCash, select the entire report (Ctrl-A), copy the data (Ctrl-C), switch to 
LibreOffice (Alt-Tab), and paste your data (Ctrl-V). Finally, save the 
LibreOffice as a spreadsheet file, which should assign it the proper formatting 
and extension.

[GNC] Building 5.0 on Ubuntu 18.04

Hi All,

albeit a bit old.  I've been happily building all of the 4.x versions from

Re: [GNC] Exporting reports to spreadsheet

[Michael or Penny Novack]

When I Export a report I've been supplying a windows extension of 
".ods". Which I assumed would cause that exported report file to open 
in some OpenDocumentSpreadsheet application, in my case: LibreOffice 
Calc.


But it doesn't do that. I double-click the file to open it in the 
default application and it opens in LibreOffice Writer. 



Important!  There is a common misconception that the file extension you 
supply (or have an application supply) when you save a file actually 
changes the format of the data. This is not so (except that an 
application might do that sort of data conversion as part of the save). 
All a file extension does is inform the system what application to use 
if you "click the object" (select it for opening).


You CAN use a different application by starting that and then telling it 
to open the file. For example, if you "clicked" on a file that had an 
extension .exe your computer would RUN this program. But if you started 
a hex editor and told IT to open this program is would let you look at 
it (examine the machine code) --- a hex editor can open ANYTHING.


You changed the extension from .html to that of an open document format 
but that didn't make the data itself change. But the LibreOffice suite 
does work differently. When you tell it to change to another format it 
won't just do the extension but will also convert the data.

Re: [GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

[Fross, Michael]

So it sounds like this might be a Windows issue with retrieving quotes (I'm
running that latest v11).  I believe perl and the correct modules are
installed (Worked under v4.13 and I installed JSON::Parse) and it works
with the gnucash-cli, but just not within the program.

Happy to help troubleshoot if I can be of assistance.

Have a great day all.

Michael

Re: [GNC] Exporting reports to spreadsheet

[Patrick James]

George,

This is a Windows 'feature,' as Windows has file extension associations.

If you do a quick online search, you should be able to find the instructions on 
how reassign the association of the ".ods" extension to LibreOffice Calc.

Alternatively, try right-clicking the icon and selecting "Open with"

[GNC] Exporting reports to spreadsheet

[George Riner]

The setting:

Windows 10
Gnucash 4.13

When I Export a report I've been supplying a windows extension of 
".ods". Which I assumed would cause that exported report file to open in 
some OpenDocumentSpreadsheet application, in my case: LibreOffice Calc.


But it doesn't do that. I double-click the file to open it in the 
default application and it opens in LibreOffice Writer.


Opening the exported report in a text editor I see that it's really an 
HTML file. And that, in fact, I can specify any windows extension I want 
when exporting the report from Gnucash, and it will always write out a 
file that contains HTML.


I think Windows is seeing ".ods" as something to open in LibreOffice, 
which starts reading the file and detects that it's HTML and then 
without any asking, renders the HTML in the exported report as a 
LibreOffice Writer document.


However, if I export a report and specify a file extension of ".xlsx" 
and then double click that to open it, then LibreOffice Calc starts up 
and offers to convert the HTML that's in that file to an actual 
spreadsheet which I can then save as a ".ods" file that opens in 
LibreOffice Calc.


I find myself in circles trying to find the straight path from Gnucash 
exported reports to LibreOffice Calc and can't seem to untangle the 
Windows/Gnucash/LibreOffice interactions to get this to happen.


Any Windows + LibreOffice users out that that get this working?

Re: [GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

I found the problem; I thought I had switched everything over to use JSON
for prices, but I still had some using Alpha Vantage, and I don't have my
key in the iMac version of GnuCash. Once I switched the few remaining
items, the update is working fine.

Re: [GNC] Issues Retrieving Quotes with v5.0

[R Losey]

Yes, I have an M1 iMac.

Getting the right JSON::Parse for my architecture was what was needed... I
get data now.

But it didn't give me the "want x86_64, have amd64" error... it just said
it wasn't installed.

Checking with GnuCash...better; not greyed out, but not working properly. I
think something is failing, so it just stops on the others. I probably need
to figure out where the log file is to find out which item it cannot get.
