[GNC-dev] Build on MacOS

Hi guys, I'm trying to build on MacOS (macbook pro, High Sierra, 10.13.4). Setting up the build was *not* easy, I had to deal with many issues during the jhbuild build phase (I kept notes so if it's interesting to someone I could list all the issues, and what I had to do to fix them). My

Please respond to the mailing list as well. You can follow this https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building The initial setup can be a bit gnarly, my advice is: follow the instructions above, and if you run into any issues, send an email to to this group, and somebody will help you. Normally

Re: [GNC-dev] Patelco stopped supporting OFX... other options

A quick follow up on this thread. As an alternative to plaid, it's possible to write your own scraping code (by this I mean, code that goes and scrapes data from the web sites where you can manually download your ofx files). To automate a browser, you can use Selenium (which has bindings for

[GNC-dev] Patelco stopped supporting OFX... other options

People, In the past week, my credit union (Patelco) retired their OFX server which means it's no longer possible to download transactions using OFX. You can still do it manually by logging into your account etc, but it's no longer possible to use tools like ofxclient, ofxget and probably

[GNC-dev] Feature freeze until when?

I believe we're in feature freeze mode, correct? When can we go back to investigating new ideas (or even fixing bugs)? Jean ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

Re: [GNC-dev] Patelco stopped supporting OFX... other options

More about the Plaid thing: 1) I found quite a few projects in github having to do with plaid. People writing their own financial solutions. One that's somewhat relevant here is this one: https://github.com/ebridges/plaid2qif Even though the author picked qif instead of ofx (a mistake I think)

I found an explanation of Quicken's Express Web Connect at https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7851859/faq-how-quicken-connects-with-your-financial-institution-tips-tricks-and-best-practices. The short answer is it works the same as plaid and friends: The transaction data is retrieved
