Re: [GNC] Accounting Modules

I second that you can just start with C++.  C++11 and beyond permits and encourages programming styles that are very different from C's. A while back (having already worked with C and C++ for many years) I read Koenig & Moo's Accelerated C++.  For specificity, here's a link at one online vendor:

Stephen, Gnucash really only fully implements the first three modules you have described. It is certainly capable of maintaining the records necessary for the other areas but does not support any in built calculations and automatic creation of the entries in the books. At present any use of

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 3.3 suddenly crashing on Ubuntu

Yeah, I don't know either. I suspect the ld_PRELOAD cache has something to do with it, but the exact details escape me as well. I guess we could solve this by versioning our shared libraries. We will probably start doing that at some point in the future. Until then the solution will remain to

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 3.3 suddenly crashing on Ubuntu

Thanks Geert, as usual you have hit the nail smack on the head. I had some files left lying around from an old build. I guess why it should suddenly pick up the wrong one is a mystery that may never be solved. I don't have any recollection of doing anything that would have changed the PATH or

Re: [GNC] GnuCash freezes when saving in Windows

Hi Geert, Following your suggestion, I tried moving the cursor around to different places while saving before travelling back home from my mother's house yesterday morning. I couldn't reproduce it because it never froze at all that time, regardless of what I did. I'm hoping it won't freeze at all

Re: [GNC] Gnucash 3.3 suddenly crashing on Ubuntu

Colin, gnc-build-userdata-path is defined in libgnc-core-utils.so, a shared library part of gnucash. This particular symbol was introduced for gnucash 3.x or shortly before that in the 2.7 development series to be precise. The error suggests this shared library is not found or more likely

I have been using version 3.3 installed from the Ubuntu repository on Ubuntu 18.10 for some weeks. Suddenly today it will not open. When I run it from the command line I see the output below. The gnucash trace file is empty. Googling found similar problems during build and suggested renaming
