Re: [GNC-dev] Launchpad

I heard back from Dmitry.  He doesn't like Ubuntu (or any other Debian derivative), thinks PPAs are not good, and doesn't want his name associated with any such effort. So, I'll study what he did and learn from it.  Probably start with the bare minimum since we don't intend for this to replace

Re: [GNC-dev] Launchpad

Given Gnucash is a compiled binary, it will need to be compiled against specific major versions of shared libraries. You need to have the matching libraries available. Building the package against the required versions of Ubuntu will be required to link against the available versions of the

Re: [GNC-dev] Launchpad

I haven’t. I did try to download the 1.58-dev files from the Xenial repo, but that’s when I hit a wall of additional dependencies and decided further effort wasn’t worth the trouble. I don’t need it for my own use. I was just testing it because I had time. I daily use GnuCash on High Sierra.

Re: [GNC-dev] Launchpad

Adrien and Colin, Thanks for banging on this.  I have an email out to Dmitry asking if he has a Launchpad account or if he'll let me use his /debian folder (which I have already downloaded and started inspecting) to push up to Launchpad to try to build a ppa for the various versions. --Steve On

Re: [GNC-dev] Launchpad

Adrien, Have you loaded and compiled with the libboost-dat-time-dev headers installed. I have libboost-date-time-dev, libboost-date-time1.65-dev and libboost-date-time1.65.1 loaded on Linux Mint 19 (Ubuntu Bionic 18.04) and it builds and compiles without any problem.. dpkg -l | grep

Re: [GNC-dev] Launchpad

I found this: https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2019-January/081695.html noting that the following needed to be installed: libboost-filesystem1.65.1 libboost-date-time1.65.1 libboost-locale1.65.1 libboost-regex1.65.1 But my error was for 1.58, not 1.65 missing I installed them

Re: [GNC-dev] Launchpad

Managed to give http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnucash/gnucash_3.4-1_amd64.deb a quick try on 18.10 and it fails to install with lots of missing packages, and apt install -f just says it is going to remove the partially install gnucash again, which I think means the packages are

Thanks.  I checked the trusty and others and they had older versions.  So, maybe not so good news. But, if I can get his debian folder On 1/3/19 1:34 PM, Colin Law wrote: > On Thu, 3 Jan 2019 at 21:28, Stephen M. Butler wrote: >> mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu >>

I have cleaned up this thread quite a bit. The summary is, it looks like Dmitry Smirnovis is doing the work!  Just hard to find. And, he's not behind (well, maybe a day or two). On 1/1/19 3:25 PM, Andrew Ruthven wrote: > Perhaps worth getting in touch with Dmitry Smirnov, the Debian > Developer

Steve, It's nice to see you're willing to work on getting gnucash on launchpad. >From my point of view this is completely disconnected from what the gnucash project itself does, so feel free to go about this as you like. On the other hand I'm not really sure I understand the bit about the

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

Re: [GNC-dev] Launchpad

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. That won’t help derivative distros but as people

[GNC-dev] Launchpad

Dev Team, So far, three folks have either used or inquired about using the debian package for 3.4.  Marketing theory (no, I'm a software engineer by avocation) says that there are several more that would take advantage if it were more "supported". Here are my thoughts: 1. Both Ubuntu
