Hi Camille, I'm sorry to hear you had issues setting up a development system on the Mac. You can always ask for help here if you want to retry. If you provide us with the details, we can help you make progress and perhaps identify bits of the setup that need more polishing. That aside, I run

Hello Geert,  After 2 frustrating and unsuccessful attempts to install development on the Mac, I ended up reverting back to Linux. I have compiled and ran successfully gnucash on Debian. Do you have a preferred IDE that you use on Linux?, I haven't used EMACS for almost 15 years and would

Thank you Geert,  I can develop on Linux as well as MacOS. My Linux station is a portable running Debian 9. My macOS is a workstation with a 26" screen, obviously a better choice for me. I did download the source on Linux and went as far as running the cmake but encountered an error at line

Hi Camille, There is plenty of work on the gnucash project. However I'll focus on your eventual goal of basing your iOS app on the gnucash core. I think your first step would be to familiarize yourself with the gnucash build system. We have wiki pages describing how to build gnucash on

Hello Geert, To help I need guidance and direction. I have never developed as part of a project such as gnuCash before. If you can think of a good first exercise, I am willing to try. On Sunday, April 19, 2020, 11:00:12 AM PDT, Geert Janssens wrote: #yiv8039829096 p, #yiv8039829096

Hi Camille, Most of the code relevant for your viewer is indeed C/C++. Parts are gnucash are also written in guile, but if I understand correctly that language is not available on iOS. I'm working on separating the guile parts from the non-gui core of gnucash specifically to make it easier

Hello Geert,  I can investigate how to read the database using the code base. My app is a viewer, so "read only". I have been using gnucash since 2015, but have not at all looked at the code base. I can probably succeed with some effort if the code is in C or C++ language. On Sunday, April

Ok. That's fair. Do note GnuCash supports database storage as well as xml and will likely switch to database (sqlite3) as primary storage format somewhere in the future. Also note the data format can change from major release to major release. So if you're not using the gnucash engine code

An iOS app that can view gnucash files is certainly nice. Is it a from-scratch implementation or did you reuse our gnucash code for it (the latter would be really awesome) ? Regards, Geert Op vrijdag 17 april 2020 18:17:28 CEST schreef Camille Rizko via gnucash-devel: > Hello, I developped

Hello,  I developped an iOS app that allows me to view my gnuCash files on iphone or ipad. It shows the list of accounts with totals. It also shows Balance sheet to date, Balance sheet last year, income statement last year and income statement to date. Is this of interest to the community?
