Re: [GNC-dev] GnuCash 3.0 wine versus Windoze 10

Robin, I think having a separate build directory is what you would consider best practice using cmake. Where that build directory is located does not appear to be a major issue from my reading of the CMake documentation so far. I have built other applications and libraries using cmake where a

Jeffrey, My response re "30 years ago I swallowed new programming languages like jellybeans, today it takes a manual and 3 sledge hammers." is very similar although in my case it was closer to 40 years. At least being retired now I can take the time to bumble my way through these days. My own

Re: [GNC-dev] GnuCash 3.0 wine versus Windoze 10

Jeffrey, I tend to keep the stable release installed under /usr/local. If I have any unstable or work in progress versions I install them under /opt or under my home directory as John suggests in another reply. I usually set up aliases tagged with a version number or some other identifier

Re: [GNC-dev] GnuCash 3.0 wine versus Windoze 10

I *was* enjoying my fresh build until I decided to try again from scratch in order to get the python bindings incorporated. So, I already have python2.7 and python3 since I had python bindings installed with Gnucash 2.6.19 previously. I took your suggestion and installed python3-pytest, but I'm

David- Thank you very much for this comprehensive tutorial for building from source. I'm newish to Linux and I want to be able to do this but I've been confused. I managed to muddle through building 3.0 from source the evening before your email came. I have some lingering questions that maybe

Re: [GNC-dev] GnuCash 3.0 wine versus Windoze 10

Jeffrey, I will start form scratch. The first step is setting up for building. My apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs. Linux Mint has an alias of apt defined for apt-get. I am not sure if it is also defined in Ubuntu. If not substitute apt-get where I have apt in the following. # first

Re: [GNC-dev] GnuCash 3.0 wine versus Windoze 10

Jeffrey, There should be no significant difference in building Gnucash 3.0 on Ubuntu Xenial from Linux Mint 18.3 which I have just finished doing, if you need some guidance in doing that. I have proposed a rewrite of the Wiki page to the developers to try and make the build instructions a bit

Re: [GNC-dev] GnuCash 3.0 wine versus Windoze 10

Gnucash runs better on a Linux system than it does on Windows. My understanding is that it is Linux s/w adapted to run on Windows. So if you want to run Ubuntu ( which is an excellent idea) then run GC natively on that, not under wine. You will be able to install gnucash from the software

Before I do something incredibly stupid, like I did in hard crashing my Windoze server because of a virus (IRS search miss-key, go figure), and the boot partitions seem to be non-repairable even though all data and programs are still on disk.  (And yes, I know stupid of me to not have a
