Re: [GNC-dev] About the "$HOME/.local" installation prefix

2019-05-02 Thread David Cousens
Hi John, It was because of a number of posts in the forum, not sure whether DEV or USER around the time I reworked the pages which suggested $HOME/.local for single user local installations of GnuCash . I think it may also have been specified the previous Wiki page I started from as well. At the

Correction: http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03s13.html says that AT invented /opt for SYSV. http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/index.html is as close to canonical as one gets for what different parts of the file hierarchy are for and how they should be used.

Re: [GNC-dev] About the "$HOME/.local" installation prefix

2019-05-02 Thread John Ralls
AT Unix and the real BSD did have /usr/local as the place for installing stuff not part of the system. Sun Microsystems started using that for their Solaris extensions to BSD and invented /opt as the place for locally-installed packages. Both typically require root to install into and some

2019-05-02 Thread Colin Law
On many varieties of Linux /usr/local is the conventional location to add locally built packages. In this case probably /usr/local/gnucash. I think the build instructions used to suggest that but I may be mistaken. Colin On Thu, 2 May 2019 at 17:27, Geert Janssens wrote: > > Op donderdag 2 mei

Maf's reply forwarded to devel. I think a sensible restriction to vat-report will be: all amounts *must* be converted into a report-currency... which will then ensure there's only 1 currency for grand-total, therefore 1 heading + 1 grand-total = 1 csv row. -- Forwarded message -

Good question. I’ve never used that location, and have not otherwise seen any recommendation to use it for a single/local-user installation. I’ve seen people recommend to recreate the official tree under ~/ (~/usr, ~/usr/local, ~/usr/bin) which doesn’t make much sense to me, or something else

[GNC-dev] About the "$HOME/.local" installation prefix

2019-05-02 Thread Geert Janssens
Our current wiki on building gnucash for Ubuntu 16.04 (https:// wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/BuildUbuntu16.04) suggests $HOME/.local as a valid installation prefix. While checking for another thread I have found this to be problematic. In particular when using this installation prefix, a number of
