Re: [GNC] Upgrading GC under Ubuntu

Stephen, Colin Just a correction to my last post. There is no problem with the icon installation on Linux Mint 18.3. It seems to possibly be a problem with Nemo (Linux Mint file explorer) rather than the installation. All of the icon files are actually there but there is something with the

Re: [GNC] Upgrading GC under Ubuntu

Stephen, Colin I think there is a problem with the cmake creation of the scripts that do the install, that is not installing the icons correctly. I just did an uninstall of v3.2 on Ubuntu, deleted any gnucash files left in my install location (/usr/local) relating to gnucash so that all

Eureka moment - it is obvious if I just look in the right place. The full cmake command I have is file(INSTALL DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/gnucash/icons" TYPE DIRECTORY FILES "/home/colinl/apps/gnucash-3.2/data/pixmaps/hicolor" REGEX ".*/apps.*" EXCLUDE) The REGEX is given the

Re: [GNC] Upgrading GC under Ubuntu

In addition to all the other replies, I'd like to add that I would not normally expect the user to compile the software and add all the development dependencies. For this reason, among others, I've added a feature request for the creation of AppImage:

Re: [GNC] Upgrading GC under Ubuntu

I thought you might have hit on something there (the shell) as I have been using ssh to connect in to run it, but I have tried locally and it is the same. I have added some cmake message output and can see that the command to install to /usr/local/share/gnucash/icons does nothing unless I hack

John, The GnuCash wiki Installation instructions now link to the build instructions for Ubuntu (and derivative distrubutions like Linux Mint) https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building which in turn has a link specifically for building V3 on on Ubuntu16.04, 18.04 and derivatives which now hopefully

Before 'rolling your own' GnuCash, check out Getdeb.net. They may not have 3 series yet, but they are up to 2.6.17 at least, if not later. David C On Fri, Jun 29, 2018 at 2:50 PM, Stephen M. Butler wrote: > On 06/29/2018 11:45 AM, John R. Sowden wrote: > > It seems that GC is a very popular

[GNC] Upgrading GC under Ubuntu

It seems that GC is a very popular accounting program, and Ubuntu/Linux is a very popular Operating System, yet when there is an upgrade in GC, I cannot find a straightforward method of updating GC under Ubuntu/Linux. I understand that there is a delay before the new version of GC is in the
